斯巴拉西！太棒了！打通了这个游戏的我。逐渐理解一切！

You know in some games there are trippy and amazing sequences that last like 10-15 minutes that makes you say "holy ♥♥♥♥". Yeah, this game is that sequence THE game.

There are no enemies or threats in this game, but the terror you feel about the concept of infinity is very real.

Antichamber, but like, outside

One of the best games I ever played.
Loved the Concept of game
good gameplay and visuals, puzzles was great not to hard not to easy
also one of the best game in this category
if you played this game (I highly recommend it) I suggest you to play this titles
Antichamber, Superliminal, Naissancee, Hyperbolica, Q.U.B.E 2 and portal 2

It's been a very satisfying journey and each delightful moment I've spent so far was filled with joy, wonder and outright awe.

Infinity has always fascinated me and so Manifold Garden is a dream come true. The puzzles are complex, intriguing and fun to solve. Whenever I got stuck, instead of getting frustrated and thinking there's some illogical design, I was curious to test the physics elements and ideas I had in mind, and upon solving the puzzles, the solutions have always been sensible so far. The sound design enhances key moments in a very effective way and it definitely hasn't gone unnoticed.

To call Manifold Garden anything less than a masterpiece would be insulting.

Manifold Garden is similar to games like Antichamber and Superliminal in that it is a non-euclidean puzzle game with special attention towards foreign topologies.

However, of the three titles I feel this is the inferior. It's lacking a certain "humanity" that the other two possess, Superliminal more directly with its premise and story, and Antichamber more obliquely by its allegory. Speaking of which, like the other two games, Manifold Garden is allegorical, though I'm not sure for what.

This game has a unique treatment of infinity which I quite enjoyed. The spaces are expansive and awesome (in the formal sense). However, this use of space also made some puzzles frustrating by the time it took to reach some locations, possibly as a form of padding as the puzzles aren't too difficult once you wrap your head around the mechanics/physics at play.

I would say I quite enjoyed the game, but I did find the ending slightly pretentious. It has just as much conceptual meat as Superliminal and Antichamber, but as I said, it's lacking in the human or philosophy department. Not a particularly thought provoking game, as the underlying theme seems to be either environmentalism or nth-dimensional transcendence (whatever that is). An aesthetic delight which doesn't overstay its welcome (which considering my hours played, should tell you something).

While I recommend the game, I felt deceived by the trailers. Manifold Garden is advertised as an exploration game with unique spacial geometry, akin to Antichamber. However, that is simply the backdrop to the actual gameplay, which largely takes place inside closed-off rooms in which you solve unlock-the-door puzzles. The impressively complex visuals you see in all the trailers and screenshots are really just what exists between these rooms, and is sometimes not even necessary to the puzzles. Exploration of these spaces is very brief when it happens, and then you immediately go into a room with blank walls and move cubes around to unlock a door. This game feel like a lot of wasted potential as it never really explores its unique spacial setting to the full extent of what is possible, choosing instead to use it as a backdrop and a path from one puzzle to the next. Trying to explore the complexity of these ares is almost never rewarded because they just aren't the main focus of the game.

tl;dr:
If you enjoy the standard room-to-room puzzle platformer like Portal, then this game is great, and I recommend it. However, if you are expecting to explore the interesting spaces shown in the trailers and screenshots, you may find it lacking.

看朋友玩了几个小时，这个画风真的令人眼前一亮，尤其是数学生（雾）游戏内容也给人一些类似于空间映射的感觉，而且这个多维的埃舍尔世界充满对称，分形等数学思想，重力变换时坐标也会变换，让人想起鲁比克360，有比较强烈的线性性和立体感。画风跟优美没有太大关系，但绝对是令人舒适并能激起探索欲的。不过我对这部游戏的中文译名有个建议，可以译为《流形圣殿》，manifold在拓扑中意为“流形”，游戏内容也给人一种肃穆遐想的感觉，所以garden也可以意译为圣殿。

Aut non tentares, aut perfice / Или вовсе не берись, или доводи до конца

Не знаю, как так получилось, но я уже, как сложилось, считаю себя мастером головоломок, основанных на принципах невозможных фигур Мёбиуса и Эшера. THE IMPOSSIBLE, echochome, дилогия hocus – все эти игры я хорошо помню, а некоторые проходил вообще недавно. И наконец я наткнулся на игру, которая возводит все принципы предыдущих проектов в абсолют, да ещё в полном 3D. Помимо этого я ещё могу сказать, что Manifold Garden – это, пожалуй, самая красивая головоломка, которую я видал. Но обо всём по порядку.

Cogito, ergo sum / Мыслю, следовательно существую

В качестве игрового процесса игра представляет собой головоломку от первого лица, в которой главной механикой является возможность управления гравитацией, что издали напоминает Portal с его, простите за тавтологию, порталами. Напоминает она его так же и по продолжительности. Возвращаясь к теме, хочу отметить, что некоторые головоломки могут сразу обескуражить и сбить с толку, но подумав, и это Вы вряд ли можно засчитать за минус.

Первое прохождение может занять в среднем от пяти до двенадцати часов, у кого как получится. Некоторые задачи и правда сбили меня с толку на какое-то время, но вряд ли это время можно считать потраченным впустую. Для головоломок нет ограничений по времени, вы можете перемещаться столько, сколько вам нужно, чтобы разобраться. Последние достижения, как кто-то подметил ранее, подойдут только сильным умам мира сего с докторской степенью за плечами.

Игровая механика действительно очень приятно, ведь ее совершенно нетрудно понять. Вы можете изменить гравитационную ориентацию, а мир при этом бесконечно связан. Из-за этого вы будете падать на крыши зданий, видеть, как вода течет в странном направлении, и ходить по боковым лестницам, которые все равно приведут вас туда, куда вам нужно. Что ещё понравилось в игре, так это цикличность её пространства (не знаю, как наиболее емко это объяснить). Оглядываясь вокруг, Вы замечаете повторяющиеся постройки, в одной из которых Вы сейчас находитесь, что также является и геймплейным элементом. И тут, пожалуй, может быть некомфортно только тем, кто боится высоты, ибо прыгал с огромной высоты я часто.

Если говорить про уровни, то в большинстве из них Вам предстоит просто разместить цветной кубик на соответствующей платформе, чтобы открыть дверь к следующей головоломке. Чем дальше вы будете продвигаться, тем более замысловатые загадки вам будут встречаться. Сами кубики можно восстановить в случае утраты на деревьях, на которых они растут. Лично мне больше понравились задачи с замкнутыми пространствами, в них просто проще ориентироваться.

Главной, лично для меня, проблемой было то, что я полностью дезориентировался в пространстве из-за гравитационных сдвигов. Но опять же, я не могу представить это в виде преензии, ведь все головоломки изящны и лаконичны в своём исполнении.

Historica vero testis temporum, lux veritatis, vita memoriae / История – верный свидетель прошлого, свет истины, живая память

Не смотря на многих коллег по жанру, у Manifold Garden нет никакой истории. Играя дальше, вы определенно можете создать её в своем уме, когда разгадаете первые наборы головоломок и помиритесь с миром и в целом с тем, что вам нужно делать. Игра вполне неплохо обходится без сюжета. Хотя намеки на него есть. Мы избавляемся от некой темной материи, которая поглащает наше пространство. Преставления разного рода кубов на определенные точки и превращает темноту в свет.

Несомненно, эта игра привлечет Ваше внимание и к работам М. К. Эшера, на которых, возможно, и основан весь визуальный стиль игры, ведь визуальная и интеллектуальная эстетика в чрезвычайно взаимосвязи в этом игровом мире.

Ars longa, vita brevis / Искусство вечно, жизнь коротка

По оформлению игра совершенно сногсшибательна. Если Вы посмотрите трейлер, то сразу поймете, почему игра так сложна для восприятия разумом, ведь мы привыкли к другому набору правил в мире, а Manifold Garden переворачивает всё с ног на голову, в прямом смысле этого слова. У игры есть запоминающийся стиль, чем-то лично для меня напоминающий Borderlands.

Саундтрек звучит действительно хорошо и не даёт заскучать. Он вроде бы и размеренный, и спокойный, но и в то же время вызывающая замирание сердца, будто готовящая к новым невозможным в реальном мире архитектурным строениям. Звуковые эффекты тоже сами по себе хороши. Есть места, когда вы переходите из одного уровня в другой, там музыка резко обрывается без плавного перехода. Это единственная плохая вещь, которую я заметил в аудиосопровождении.

Circulus vitiosus / Вместо доказательства есть другое положение, требующее ещё доказательства

Кому подойдет данный проект?

• Во-первых тем, кому интересно разгадывать головоломки, а так же тем, кто ждёт Portal 3, Игра вправду может стать для таких настоящей отдушиной.
  
• Как я уже говорил, что игра может вызвать проблемы у людей, которые боятся высоты ввиду того, что прыгать на километровые расстояния здесь придется ни раз. Правда после падения никакой здоровье у Вас не отнимется. Вы даже можете приземлиться на то же самое место за счёт цикличности пространства.
  
• Даже несмотря на то, что игра может быть короче большинства других игр и дороже по цене в целом, она стоит вашего времени и ваших денег. Как я упомниал ранее, это – незабываемый опыт, который надолго останется в вашей памяти.

Manifold Garden ступает на путь, не побоюсь этого сказать, возвышенного. Хочу отметить, что первостепенно, игра сделана с душой, а, во-вторых, она продумана до мелочей. Это правда очень классная головоломка, которая вызывает только положительные впечатления. Единственное, что хочется сделать после прохождения, так это проверить своё iQ, ибо игра заставляет и над этим призадуматься =)

不要怪游戏没有指引，当你知道该干什么的时候，你已经通关了。

It's like exploring an Ikea but you take no fall damage

脑内汉译名叫《无量之庭》（无量大数的无量）

This is a puzzle game second and an exploration of the concept of infinity and perspective first. The purpose of the puzzles are to provide context and motivation for observing this geometry.

The most similar game to Manifold Garden that I've played is Antichamber, which came out in 2013. Both are abstract first person puzzle games that have minimalist aesthetics with solid colors and a lot of cubes. What makes this game different is its focus: Antichamber was a puzzle game where the player had to adapt to the changing rules and properties of the game, while Manifold Garden's rules are more simple straightforward. Structures are infinitely duplicated on 6 axis, and the player can change what plane is considered the floor/which direction gravity is applied. The main levels are large, aesthetically pleasing structures that you have to explore on multiple planes to solve.

Manifold Garden fills me with more dread than typical horror media. Horror usually relies on the hidden and unexpected: monsters lurking in the darkness, unpredictable and sinister thoughts and behaviors. These things elicit fear because they cannot be easily perceived. While the visuals of this game are bright, simple, and clear, it is difficult for humans to comprehend the scale of infinity. This is the unique strength of this game. Portal is a puzzle game about connecting two points in space, Superliminal is a puzzle game about depth and perspective, Antichamber is a puzzle game about non-Euclidean space, Manifold Garden is a puzzle game about infinity. It explores a unique concept, and it does so beautifully.

j'ai passé 6 heures d'affilées sur ce jeu, j'ai toujours pas compris ce que j'y faisais, si ce n'est prendre des blocs, faire tourner le monde pour avoir accès à des zones qui semblaient inaccessibles. Car dans ce jeu, vous ne bougez pas, c'est le monde qui bouge. Alors quand je dis que vous ne bougez pas, je mens un peu, vous pouvez marcher mais c'est tout. Et parfois un bloc est collé à un mur, suffit de tourner et le mur devient le sol, et votre ancien sol devient un mur, ce qui offre de nouvelles possibilités.

Parfois, vous avez l'impression d'être sur un escalier infini, alors qu'en fait, il suffit de tourner le plan pour le transformer en passage ou cette chute qui paraît infinie, donne en réalité accès à une nouvelle zone. Et cet escalier à l'envers qu'est ce que j'en fais? Tourne le plan est ça passera. C'est vraiment génial mais ça demande un certain temps pour rentrer dans cette logique qui n'en a aucune, surtout si vous avez un gros soucis de vision spatiale comme moi, j'ai bien du passer deux heures à déconstruire le schémas habituel de vision 3D pour entrer dans celui du jeu, ce qui m'a ensuite permis d'avancer plus sereinement et de vraiment me plonger dans l'immensité du jeu, un jeu à la fois calme et prenant, les puzzles faisant bien leur boulot de "♥♥♥♥♥♥, je comprend pas ce que tu veux que je fasse", avant que l'illumination n'apparaisse et que vous ayez l'impression d'avoir atteint un niveau de conscience supérieur.

Plongé dans un monde minimaliste fait de formes géométriques et de panorama vertigineux, on est à la fois surpris par le côté apaisant des formes mais happés par la profondeur des panoramas qui, eux-même, jouent sur nos perceptions. Il y a par conséquent, une motivation à aller de l'avant, pour découvrir les autres pièces, on a parfois la sensation d'être dans une exposition sur l'art cubique, une exposition qui prendrait un malin plaisir à vous dérouter, avec des puzzles qui semblent hors d'atteinte à la première lecture mais qui ne sont pas si complexes que celà au final, pour peu que vous ne souffriez pas, comme je le disais plus haut, d'un trouble de la vision spatiale.

J'avais adoré Antichamber pour sa direction artistique et le malin plaisir qu'il prenait à jouer sur vos propres perceptions et en faisaient des puzzles dans un univers aussi cubique. Manifold Garden pousse encore le principe plus loin en ajoutant une dimension d'infinité dans un espace limité (ouep, vous verrez), c'est malin, c'est limpide, grâce à sa direction artistique et, personnellement, j'ai eu du mal à en décrocher. La musique, discrète mais relaxante, accompagne parfaitement vos réflexions et vos chutes dans le vide.

Cela dit, j'ai toujours pas compris ce que je foutais là, il y a un message écolo, je crois, j'en sais rien, au fond, je m'en fiche, ces cubes à eux seuls, par la manière dont ils virevoltent dans l'espace grâce à mon click droit, me racontent déjà une histoire suffisamment passionnante.

Avis à tous les fans de puzzles games, sous ses airs minimalistes se cache un puzzle game d'une grande intelligence qu'il serait dommage d'ignorer.

FOV Report: Great

Has a slider that goes up to 120. Almost brings a tear to my eye

I'm on a field of view crusade. We live in a world where raytracing is common, but a basic quality of life field of view slider is not. There is no excuse other than lazy developers to not include one. If you agree, and want to see more accessible, comfortable gaming for everyone, join me on my crusade and start encouraging devs everywhere to include FOV support.

他在这些庞杂的工作上花了十三年工夫，但是一个外来的人刺杀了他，他的小说像部天书，他的迷宫也无人发现。我在英国的树下思索着那个失落的迷宫：我想像它在一个秘密的山峰上原封未动，被稻田埋没或者淹在水下，我想像它广阔无比，不仅是一些八角凉亭和通幽曲径，而是由河川、省份和王国组成……我想像出一个由迷宫组成的迷宫，一个错综复杂、生生不息的迷宫，包罗过去和将来，在某种意义上甚至牵涉到别的星球。我沉浸在这种虚幻的想像中，忘掉了自己被追捕的处境。在一段不明确的时间里，我觉得自己抽象地领悟了这个世界。——《小径分岔的花园》

매니폴드, 수 없이 반복되는 공간에서 풀어나가는 퍼즐게임입니다.
플래이어가 서 있는 방향이 밑이며 여러 프렉탈 구조물들과 그 공간을 이용하여 이동하고, 큐브를 배치하여 풀어나갑니다.

이 무한한 공간 속에서 느껴지는 장엄함에 눌려 "어떻게 진행해야 하지?" 의 구간도 있습니다만 충분히 주변을 둘러본다면 쉽게 해결할 수 있는 난이도가 낮은 퍼즐들로 이루어져 있습니다.

첫 인상은 "Anti-Chamber"와 유사한 느낌을 가졌지만 그건 뭔가 유저를 놀리는 듯한 퍼즐이였다면 이건 유저를 안정적으로 만들어 준다는 것에 차이가 있습니다. (물론 누군가는 그 장엄에 대한 공포가 있을 순 있습니다.)

하드코어 퍼즐을 좋아하시는 분들에겐 너무 낮은 난이도로 인해 좀 아깝다고 생각될 순 있겠지만 퍼즐 초심자 분들에게 적극적으로 추천하고 싶습니다.

There’s a small selection of games out there that I just love being in. I’m not talking about enjoying the challenges or the gameplay, I mean I love loading up the game and simply wandering around in it. Games need a special aesthetic or atmosphere to draw me in like that, and among this unique subset of games, Manifold Garden may be my favorite. I’m a sucker for fantastical vistas and clever architecture to begin with, and offering that within the context of the sprawling infinite should make it obvious why I connected with this one so much. Mixed with the solid puzzling, it’s an experience that more people need to share.

The story in Manifold Garden is very much open to interpretation, so I’m not going to try guiding your thoughts on it with my own suppositions. Instead, I’ll just mention that there are six colors from which a grand garden can be cultivated, and it’s up to you to make that happen. Making that happen involves navigating vast structures hanging in an infinite, repeating world, one that you can fall through indefinitely until you get bored and decide to land back on an iteration of the level. Adding to this mind-bending premise is the ability to flip your own gravity to align with any of the six directions that comprise the cubular architecture, allowing you to wrap around towers and explore the undersides of walkways, to name only a few of the incredible possibilities open to you.

So there’s the infinite, and the ability to scamper all over or fall through it while orientated however you like. What’s one to do with such powers? Well, besides taking in the breathtaking scenery from all angles, you do have a garden to grow. Throughout the world of Manifold Garden you will find blocks of six different colors, and those blocks can be used for a wide variety of purposes, from opening doors to forming platforms to directing water, and so on. The trick is that these blocks have their own gravitational alignment as well, and you can only interact with them while aligned the same way. This, again, expands the puzzling possibilities as you start mixing different colors of blocks and working out how to get one to one place while the others are frozen in their alignments. The game does an excellent job of easing you into this mindset, and continues to do so as it adds more and more twists on the formula, but it does get devious in some parts that can leave you scrambling for some time.

While there is certainly more ambitious gameplay to be found in this surreal genre of puzzler, I can think of few games that can match the visual flair that Manifold Garden has. The spectacle of a massive complex of chambers, windows, and platforms hanging in space, surrounded by an infinite field of itself repeated, never gets old. Every area feels so much more massive, so much greater in scope, than any other first-person game I can think of. And the simple color schemes give the aesthetic an even bolder look, drawing the eyes towards the shapes and details that comprise every structure. What’s even more impressive is how every few areas, the game manages to surprise you yet again with what it offers visually. I knew about the infinite staircases shown above long before I reached them, yet the experience of being there and navigating them still knocked me off my feet.

Really, with visuals like these and clever puzzles dotted throughout, there’s not much more you can ask for. It’s a tight package, offering about 4 hours of infinite journeying before concluding in a way that was fitting, if not particularly revelatory. There are certainly secrets to find, and in fact there’s apparently a way to complete the game without doing any of the key tasks for each of the areas you end up in, so the replay value is there for intrepid types. Tied up with some excellent minimalist sound design, Manifold Garden is exactly what it sets out to do, and it does it incredibly well. As good as the gameplay part of this game is, it’s the experience of touching the infinite that makes this what it is, and it’s an experience I can whole-heartedly recommend.


Did you enjoy this review? I certainly hope so, and I certainly hope you'll check out more of them at https://goldplatedgames.com/ or on my curation page!

Me and the boys in the non-euclidean space

不知道为什么的买的这个游戏，从小3D游戏玩到大的我第一次感受到3D晕眩，理解到了迷失在立体空间里的感觉。
制作方保持了十分的克制，对玩家的智商留有了充分的尊重和怜悯，每种机制都只是简单组合演示、难度点到即止。如果制作方有意为难玩家，那我估计我连教学关都过不去。

Masterpiece, amazing, breathtaking, jaw-dropping and mind-bending are some words that can describe Manifold Garden. I have been waiting years for a game to fill my "Antichamber" void and this game does so in spades. The world is infinitely linked together with impossible stairways and overlapping rooms. You have the ability to manipulate gravity and traverse on any surface you are facing. Solving puzzles involve moving colored cubes around that are linked to one specific direction of gravity marked by a specific color. Each world you explore introduces unique puzzle mechanics that can be combined to open new pathways. There are no enemies/threats in this game and falling is encouraged to help reach the next location or solve a puzzle by eliminating fall damage. The audio design is perfect, visuals are simple yet stunning, and the controls are flawless. There are two completely different routes you can take (God cube vs Non God cube) with the latter being significantly harder which extends the overall completion time. Included is one of the best photomodes I have used and a good chunk of my playtime was spent taking screenshots (See below). If you want to experience walking through a stunning MC Escher-like world or base jump into infinity, than this game is for you. Highly recommended. [100/10]

If Portal had us thinking with portals, then William Chyr Studio’s Manifold Garden has us thinking with gravity. This game is based around the mechanic of manipulating gravity to solve puzzles in levels with impossible geometric designs. If you’ve ever been fascinated by Oscar Reutersvärd’s optical illusionary designs (e.g., Penrose stairs and triangle), or wondered what it’d be like to explore the surreal world in M.C. Escher’s various works (i.e., Relativity, Ascending and Descending, Waterfall), then Manifold Garden may just be up your alley.

The seemingly infinite environments in Manifold Garden, drawn in ligne claire style, are simply mesmerizing to behold. The looping design of the set pieces, which play a role in the puzzles’ solutions, add to the mysteriousness and wonder of the game. This visual delight, along with the dizzying gravity manipulation puzzles, make Manifold Garden a unique puzzle-solving experience. With each change in gravity and direction, the same level can look completely different with new physical challenges to overcome. This game really deserved an award for level design.

It’s difficult to describe how much thought went into designing the game’s detailed set pieces and levels, which are essentially the puzzles. Without spoiling too much, I can reveal that Manifold Garden can be completed by following the prescribed path, which in itself is already a mind-bending joy, as well as via a secret path. The secret path involves not using a key object, forcing you to traverse the same rooms or levels in a different way, and to think beyond the immediate space you occupy. It’s so complicated that I needed a video walkthrough (not a written one!) to guide me. I would not have figured it out by myself.

Manifold Garden is a puzzle-centric game aimed at gamers who solve puzzles for the pure challenge and/or enjoyment of it, so don’t expect a narrative to keep the proceedings going. Aside from lacking a story to hook casual gamers in, the game’s gameplay, sadly, also makes it less accessible to most people. Gamers who struggle with spatial orientation will find this game challenging; those who tend to get dizzy from playing games presented in first-person view will likely feel ill from the changing perspectives during gravity manipulation. Increasing the FOV and turning off gravity-changing animation (toggling from S-Curve to Instant) alleviated nausea for me, but it may not work for everyone.

Although Manifold Garden is a niche game, it is one that is unique, extremely well done and very appealing visually and in terms of gameplay. There is sophistication in its simplicity, and elegance in its beguiling, complex level/puzzle designs. While it may lack a story, let alone some humour and tension, to appeal to more casual puzzle gamers, I think those who love solving puzzles will find Manifold Garden extremely entertaining and challenging.

If Antichamber and Fez had a baby, it would be this game. Like the former game, there isn't really a plot other than grabbing cubes and putting them into things so that you can purge a nameless corruption. Like the latter game, you alter your world by changing your perspective to solve puzzles (with Fez, you applied 3D to a 2-dimensional space; with Manifold Garden, you change gravity based on a cubic space).

I would definitely categorize this game as a puzzler, although I think the actual puzzles themselves are quite easy. But, like Fez, there is a whole second layer to this game that you can easily miss if you don't pay too much attention to your surroundings, and THOSE puzzles are definitely hard, but they aren't necessary to beat the game the "intended way." So many modern puzzle-exploration games do this now thanks to Braid and Fez that I basically expect it at this point, and I hope it never changes.

The graphics look simple on paper, but the infinite, fractal nature of the game makes for some jaw-dropping vistas. Music and sound are sparse and ambient, but sometimes the game can get a little loud, so be aware if you think you can play this at 1 AM without waking anybody up. The game is a bit short, but I actually think the game is the perfect length for what it is. If it was any longer, I think the game might've started becoming a bit too repetitive. I respect a game that does what it wants to do without cheaply padding out the experience.

Like Superliminal, I got sad when I knew the game was about to end. A cool experience.

《MANIFOLD GARDEN》是一款第一人称极简风格空间想象解谜风格，游戏画风很简单，由点、线、面和简单的配色构成游戏的地图，向外无限重复扩展，于高处掉落也只是进入下一个无限循环扩展出来的空间，不会摔死摔伤，互动一些代表颜色的道具，利用空间重力，水流，树木等进行解谜向前走。总之这个空间是毫无理论的不可能空间，也让游戏的玩法脱离常识，进入一种不可能的物理模型空间之中解谜前进。
游戏虽然画面简单，但是视觉冲击感十分强大，场景的变化令人震撼，解开一部分谜题的时候进行空间的再构筑简直让我直呼“牛B”，因为只是简单的线条和平面就可以给我足够的震撼，可以说游戏的画面让我给游戏拉了很多好感分，让我称之为艺术作品毫不为过。相信商店页面的介绍视频就已经可以带给玩家一个简单的感受了，如果身临其境去体验游戏，那么其所带来的震撼将是立马收获玩家芳心的标杆。
感叹自己越来越喜欢这种独立游戏的美术风格了，让我的碎片时间被这些游戏浸泡。
埃舍尔风格，简单来说就是“不可能”的视觉传达，常用于我们身边让观众感受错误的视觉空间的壁画或者某些游乐场所，以欺骗眼睛为目的让观众惊呼“不可能”！多用在平面的设计中，画作，壁画，图像中，而游戏将这一感受融入游戏中，利用激活空间的方式带来一系列错误的认知感受体验，不得不让我大喊“牛B”！
与此同时游戏的解谜的难度足够高，非常适合玩家进行烧脑挑战，玩家的整个空间想象力、大空间的场景布局都需要调动起来，需要的整体掌控能力非常强，且游戏难度在后面直线拉升，游戏游玩时间长了会感觉头晕脑胀，需要休息一下放空大脑缓解一下，这点敬请注意，否则会患有短暂的爬墙综合征和脑内跌落频发的问题。短时间内的多次变换重力也会有短暂的失去方向的迷失感，这种体验是奇妙的而且让人上瘾。
但是恐高症患者、晕3D晕空间的玩家请务必不要进行游戏，游戏虽然是好游戏，但是并不一定适合所有玩家，还是身体要紧，上一个不听话的朋友已经躺床上干呕半小时了。毕竟第一人称的标签+这种空间类型游戏会让很多玩家接受不了。
对这类游戏有兴趣又不知道适不适合自己的玩家也可以体验传送门系列、塔罗斯法则等较简单的空间解谜游戏，再来感受这种埃舍尔风格下的艺术作品。

玩了几个小时，这个画风真的令人眼前一亮，尤其是数学生（雾）游戏内容也给人一些类似于空间映射的感觉，而且这个多维的埃舍尔世界充满对称，分形等数学思想，重力变换时坐标也会变换，让人想起鲁比克360，有比较强烈的线性性和立体感。画风跟优美没有太大关系，但绝对是令人舒适并能激起探索欲的。不过我对这部游戏的中文译名有个建议，可以译为《流形圣殿》，manifold在拓扑中意为“流形”，游戏内容也给人一种肃穆遐想的感觉，所以garden也可以意译为圣殿。

Manifold Garden manages to create uniquely intricate physics-bending puzzles whilst utilizing the same core gameplay elements from start to finish. Their synergy and how they complement the puzzles is the core reason why Manifold Garden's deceptively simple gameplay loop was so enjoyable.

And the very first puzzle establishes rule 'numero uno' – that which was a wall once, can be the floor now. There are six different planes you can shift your perspective to, each tied to a specific colour, in turn enabling you to interact with items corresponding to said colour. The game doesn’t tell you this; There is no long wall of text explaining every mechanic and instead utilizes the show, don't tell approach. A perfect example is how the game handles un-interactable items. If you aren’t standing in the correct plane, their colour tells you they aren't intractable. They'll always be white, with just a hint of their true colour. This lack of hand-holding is something I personally love in games. While it can lead to some head-scratching moments, it also creates that "Eureka" moment once you finally find the solution.

We are all very closely acquainted with gravity, but you must rediscover it once more. In this physics-bending and seemingly nonsensical world, gravity works in a slightly unconventional way. It only affects the current plane you occupy whilst freezing everything in place for the other. As such, manipulating your perspective, constantly shifting it and manoeuvring items will prove challenging, but once you open your mind to the beauty of Manifold Garden's physics-bending puzzles, it becomes oh so satisfying. But what happens when there is a chasm between you and your goal? You can't jump, and sometimes no amount of plane-shifting will get you to the other side. Well, all it takes is a simple leap of faith. Since each structure is endlessly repeated, taking that plunge into the unending abyss allows you to land right on top of it. As someone who isn't on friendly terms with towering heights, I had a period of adjustment to the game's rules. So take note of this, as it may cause some uneasiness while playing.

The synergy of Manifold Garden's core gameplay mechanics creates a satisfying gameplay loop.

Entering a new puzzle room will often yield a familiar sight - a lonely power slot, coloured cubes dangling from a tree, and (another) locked door. This may appear simple enough; just pluck a cube, place cube in the slot, and (un)presto!!!...the door (still) doesn't open. Well, the game is a bit more challenging than it lets on. Each power slot is colour coded, and as such, activating it requires the use of a cube matching its tint. This frequently requires clever manoeuvring of two different coloured cubes; perhaps creating a bridge or a cube sandwich? The game later introduces a couple of new mechanics, that add to the already complex gameplay, complicating your life as you juggle cubes around. You'll be able to alter the path of a stream, grow your very own cube trees or even change the colour of cubes. The end goal will always stay the same, power on the door for your adventure to continue.

But surely there is something more than just opening a way forward?

Of course there is, as you are seeking the almighty God cubes. You see, a foul corruption has spread across the world of Manifold Garden and enthralled its many gardens. Restoring these God cubes to each root slot is your ultimate goal and the only way to dispel this corruption and bring back the vibrant colours. With each new garden come new challenging puzzles. Despite a sense of familiarity between them, the game introduces new gameplay mechanics at the ideal moment. It's always the last puzzle of each garden that does so, with those leading up to it reinforcing your prior knowledge.

While it was a marvellous experience for me, as a casual puzzle gamer, I certainly see how it could disappoint the more seasoned puzzle gamers. The lack of a real challenge many of these puzzles might probably pose could disincentivize them to keep playing. But the devs created a scenario just for this occasion – a secret way of finishing the game. So, if you fancy yourself a puzzle game connoisseur, take the plunge and re-explore the world of Manifold Garden once more, pursue the seemingly impossible, and finish the game without placing a single God cube.

The game has a minimalistic, almost completely stark aesthetic. Each structure is constructed out of simple textureless polygons. Looking at them up close might yield an unimpressive sight, but taking a step back opens you to the true beauty of Manifold Garden. The clean, stark aesthetic lends itself perfectly in creating enthralling never-ending rows of simple, yet complex structures stretching to infinity. And throughout my journey, the sublime soundtrack was the perfect minstrel, capturing the sense of awe and mystery surrounding this strange world.

Out of simplicity, Manifold Garden builds complexity

Manifold Garden is a stellar, physics-bending puzzler with the synergy of core gameplay mechanics keeping the game interesting from start to finish. It's astonishing how beautifully this game is, creating complex and never-ending structures out of simple polygons. Couple that with its marvellous soundtrack, and you get a serene experience that is hard to put into words.

I want to thank the people over at William Chyr Studio for providing a review key for this surreal experience.

パズルを通して体験するメディアアートといった趣向の作品です。
GRISのように優れたアートワークと、PORTALのような主観視点のパズルの組み合わせのゲームですね。

正規ルートを通るなら、1日で一気にクリアできる内容です。
むしろ、アートを堪能できるよう時間を取って1日で通しクリアして欲しい。
3D酔いしやすい方は、酔い止めの服用を推奨。

パズルはアートワークの楽しみを損ねないよう、丁寧に難易度調整されてます。
・ステージの構造から解法が分かるように丁寧に作られている
・理不尽に難易度が上がったりしない。「これ1度やったからもうできるでしょ」とか「このパズルは一度に3つの閃きが必要です」といったことが一切なく、「3度ほど見せたから、そろそろ応用してみよう」「今までの事に1つだけプラスアルファします」といった具合に難易度の上げ方が絶妙です。


私はまだ手を出していませんが、裏ルートの探索や最善手の追求などやりこみは深いゲームという一面もあるようです。

Solving puzzles by traversing impossible geometry and sometimes non-euclidean space by manipulating gravity, what's not to like?

Similar to The Witness there's no hand holding. Every sort of (puzzle) mechanic is first shown in short discrete area by itself before the player is confronted with more and more complicated versions and combinations of them. Show, don't tell. The only "tutorial" is a minimal overlay that informs the player what key or mouse button to press.

The graphics are somewhat minimal and might not be for everyone. Given possible amount of geometry on screen at one time anything more would easily end up in an unreadable, cluttered mess. You might miss out if this is the only reason you don't get this.

The soundtrack is simply beautiful and I can see myself listening to it alone a couple of times over the next days or weeks. So far specially Trust Fall stood out for me, maybe due to some similarity to parts of the Blade Runner 2049 soundtrack. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the download includes a FLAC version besides the usual MP3 and wish more games would actually give the buyer the option to get a lossless format. I was expecting to buy it again on Bandcamp to get a FLAC version before looking into the folder - now I hope for a Vinyl release so I can throw more money at this.

P.S. I'm only one hour deep into this but honestly: Even if there's only 1-2 hours of content left I'm already absolutely happy with my purchase as the time so far has been a blast.

Если законы физики в вашем будущем больше не действуют, да поможет вам бог.

If you like Antichamber, you will like it.

I barely know where to start.
While I enjoy games that replicate parts of human life - be it racing super cars, building a colony or chopping wood for a Viking long house - this game serves as a stark reminder that the possibilities of digital worlds can do so much more if we can wrap our brains around it. And it's "only" a "3D" puzzle game. You walk, you click walls, you place square fruits on the ground. You can't even jump. Yet the game opens up entirely new realms of thought, stunning vistas of design that I have never seen before let alone imagined.
Of course MC Escher comes to mind, but Manifold Gardens feels more ephemeral, on a higher plane, almost fleeting, a mirage, yet eternal in its infinite construction spanning more than I can comprehend. Time does not exist. Space is infinite and ubiquitous but shallow at the same time. The effect is stunning. I have never felt so lost and so excited to explore at the same time. Falling is scary. Falling is necessary. Falling is beautiful. Space is the goal and reason in itself. I can traverse it in any direction for as long as I want but I have to transcend it the way the puzzles demand to get ahead.
The finale of 2001 comes to mind. Hopeful. Scary. Intense. Blank.
The Library of Babel comes to mind. But even though there is not a single letter or word anywhere in this game, it feels smarter than most thoughts I have in any given week.
Me likey.

Seemed like a good game but unfortunately had to refund as something about the visuals made me feel quite nauseous :(

its like if Tetris and Portal, smoked DMT with MC Escher

Infinity is terrifying. If you get lost, you might never find your way home. Manifold garden teaches you not to fear infinity. It must be to some extent a mild cure for agoraphobia. You will see, experience, live, and use the principle that in any natural place large enough, there will tend to be recurring patterns, and if you know those patterns there's a sense in which you know every place you will visit here, you never truly leave home, and you are part of those patterns, your counterparts are strewn across the infinity infinite times, even if you cannot see them, you too are infinite, you will naturalise in infinity.

It's a beautiful experience.

The puzzles are pretty good too. I really appreciate how most of the puzzle components contribute positively to the atmosphere of the locations.

So I've only played this for about an hour or so, but since the game has just come out and doesn't have many (helpful) reviews yet I thought I'd still share my opinion, which I'll edit as soon as I get to play more of the game.

I bought this game because it looked like it could fill the Antichamber-shaped hole in my heart, and so far it seems on track to deliver on that promise. The design of the game is (as you can see on the screenshots) very reminiscent of Antichamber, although this game is much more visually appealing in my opinion. The environments often repeat infinitely, which reminds me of MC Escher or Andreas Gursky to some degree.

The puzzles revolve around the premise that you can change gravity, making any surface you're facing the new "floor". On top of that, you have to move cubes around which themselves are "tied" to one specific direction of gravity. It's quite hard to explain, but very intuitive once you start playing the game. So far, the puzzles are satisfying, and it seems there is a lot of potential in the base mechanics so I'm expecting to like the rest of the game too.

What has taken me by surprise the most, though, is the absolutely stellar music and sound design. Objects give a pleasing clink as they hit walls, when you fall you hear the wind and the "woosh" of structures rushing by, doors open with a satisfying sound, big empty spaces actually sound like big empty spaces, the list goes on... In terms of sound, the world feels very realistic and, for lack of a better word, "tactile". The music is kept quite ambient and doesn't have much in terms of melody, but is wonderful in terms of production quality and texture (somewhat similar to the music for Monument Valley) and well-coordinated to the action onscreen. I absolutely love how the lush and realistic aesthetic of the sounds and music combines with the minimalist, surreal visual style.

I'll definitely update this once I play more of this game, but so far, it's looking like it might become one of my favourite puzzlers.

《Manifold Garden》直译《多重花园》，官方译名《无限宫院》，这是一款第一人称解谜游戏，拥有简单却华丽的视觉效果。玩家需要通过操控重力，在循环的空间中收集方块，解开谜题。规则非常简单，玩家要做的事情就是“开门”。但基于游戏性质，这款游戏很容易引起3D眩晕，即使此前没有过这类症状的玩家也可能遇到，所以请谨慎游玩。


通过控制重力，玩家可以行走在空间的六个面上。重力方块是玩家在游戏中唯一能使用的物品，且六种颜色对应六个面。不同面上的方块相互独立，只受相同颜色面的重力影响，不会跟随玩家一同改变下坠的方向。因此，借用方块的特性，可以搭起垫脚石。

游戏的场景为无限循环，且玩家对场景的操作也会跟随循环。在游戏中跌落，并不会死亡，而是会不断穿梭于相同的场景中。借用这样的特性，玩家可以通过跌落，前往正常行走无法到达的地方。

随意改变重力的方向，使玩家失去了对方向的固有认知，上下左右不再固定，仿佛在太空中失重。但下坠又让玩家清楚的认识到，重力依旧存在。

游戏名为“宫院”，所以场景也十分华丽。黑白分明的几何线条构建出了堂皇的建筑，加上无限循环的空间，每一幕都可以截图当做壁纸，充满几何美感。游戏中的激光、水流，不止是装饰，同时也是指引玩家解谜的线索。激光可以激活信标，控制水流可以开启水车、种下重力树，颇具禅意。

游戏以颜色为章节的目录，每通过一个章节，就会解锁一个“上帝方块”。此时的世界会变得昏暗而混沌。将上帝方块归位后，场景才会恢复正常，进而进入下一关。六种颜色六个关卡，加上终章的彩虹，就是游戏的主线。不同关卡下最大的区别就是建筑风格。整体的难度不算高，解谜思路也较为单一，最大的挑战其实是迷路：无限循环的空间很容易让玩家陷入看不到尽头的死胡同。

不过游戏的内容还不止于此。有颜色的七个章节是游戏的“明线”。当“上帝方块”解锁后，玩家可以不使用上帝方块，此时灰暗的世界就是游戏的“暗线”。失去了颜色的提示，游戏变得更具挑战性。而此前已经使用过的、看似无用的方块被再次利用。不得不佩服关卡设计的精妙。

总而言之，这是一款玩法精妙、颇有创意，而且视觉风格优异的独立游戏。虽然游戏机制有些许劝退，但仍然是一款游戏体验出众的解谜游戏。史低40元的价格，非常值得一试。

Manifold Garden has made me question my sanity several - and I do mean SEVERAL - times. Still, it's an undeniably beautiful, tough, mesmerising and innovative game.

I'm not ashamed to say I needed help more than a couple times, but there were also times when I felt incredibly proud of myself for finishing the puzzles, which play with the laws of physics to trick the mind. Some of them were tougher for me and easier for others... and that's okay. ^_^

I'm very happy to have bought this when I did. It fried my brain a wee bit but it's aaall good.

Edit: Enchantment? Enchantment!

游戏是个好游戏.但是我晕3D.玩了两个小时.躺了一下午

我操你妈好几把晕

这款游戏面前有无3D眩晕症一律平等

Brain hurts in a good way

连夜退款战地1买了多重花园。
3D眩晕，光敏性癫痫和lsd致幻感，三个愿望一次满足。

I didn't really know what to expect when launching the game, I bought it a while back because I loved the look of it but wasn't sure if a first person puzzle game would suit my interests.

This game blew me away.

I'd hardly call it a puzzle game - nothing was insurmountable, solutions were there to be found, rather than obscured. I found this to be more of an experience. This visuals lifted me, the music pushed me forward, structures made me open my mind to new different possibilities.

Short. Worth waiting for a sale. Brilliant.

Предисловие:
Я безумно сильно люблю головоломки, поэтому выход Manifold Garden в Стиме я просто не мог обойти стороной. Визуально напоминающая странную, но очень интересную Antichamber, а геймплейно отдаленно похожая разве что на Portal, Manifold Garden вызывает просто массу эмоций, будто исследуешь что-то совершенно новое, неизведанное и прекрасное. И раз уж игра у нас такая неизведанная, давайте я вам расскажу, чего в ней есть хорошего, а чего плохого.

Геймплей
Геймплейно игра представляет собой головоломку от первого лица, в которой главной механикой является возможность управления гравитацией. Вы можете подойти буквально к любой стене, нажать на кнопку, и ваши ноги уже находятся на ней. Сами головоломки здесь не сказать, чтобы очень замысловатые, в большинстве нужно просто разместить цветной кубик на соответствующей платформе, чтобы открыть дверь к следующей головоломке, хотя чем дальше вы будете продвигаться, тем более изощренные загадки вам будут встречаться, но и без новых механик вас не оставят. Кстати, интересной особенностью игры является отсутствие возможности погибнуть. Если вы вдруг случайно оступились и упали с платформы, то вы приземлитесь ровно на ней же. За счет того, что игра практически до самого финала предлагает новые механики, геймплей ни на секунду не ощущается каким-то однообразным или неинтересным, и все 5-6 часов, которые уйдут у вас на прохождение, пролетят практически незаметно.

Графика
Визуальную составляющую игры можно смело назвать самой сильной ее стороной, потому что те прекрасные постройки, различные арт-композиции… на них просто невозможно смотреть без восхищения. Глядя вдаль и замечая постройки, в точности повторяющие ту, в которой вы сейчас находитесь, что также является и геймплейным элементом; переходы в негативное измерение, сопровождающиеся с одной стороны умиротворяющими, но с другой стороны будто беспокойными композициями; выстраивающиеся прямо на ваших глазах прекрасные сады – это просто великолепно, такой красоты я очень давно не видел, браво.

Звук и музыка
Практически все звуки в игре представляют собой звучание музыкальных инструментов, как это было, например, в Monument Valley, когда вы крутили разные механизмы, здесь плюс-минус так же. Музыка же здесь просто отличная, она вроде бы и спокойная, размеренная такая, но в то же время эпичная, будто говорящая нам о великолепии местной архитектуры.

Недостатки
По сути, у Manifold Garden нет каких-то недостатков. Можно попробовать предъявить ей за не самую высокую продолжительность, но я считаю, что для подобной игры это прямо идеально. В плане геймплейных механик все отлично, в плане визуала и музыкального сопровождения вообще шикарно, даже каких-то технических проблем у игры не наблюдается. Это прямо удивительно, честное слово.

Итог:
Manifold Garden – просто прекрасный представитель жанра головоломок, который в первую очередь цепляет своим восхитительным визуальным стилем, а отличный и нескучный геймплей и музыкальное сопровождение закрепят положительные эмоции, и это незабываемое приключение останется у вас в памяти надолго.
Рекомендую! 10/10

一款風格類似於《Antichamber》的第一人稱純解謎遊戲。

本作的解謎三大核心之一在於改變重力方向，共有6種方向(一個正方體的面)，為了不讓玩家搞不清當下和想要轉換的方向，每個方向都會有個專屬顏色，遊戲也因而分成7大關卡(6個顏色加彩虹色)。

另一個核心是移動方塊，本作謎題的解法很單純，就是把對應顏色的方塊放到對應的接收器上，但方塊各自也有不同顏色對應到不同重力方向，譬如紅色方塊只有在身處紅色重力時才能移動。

最後也是本作最厲害的玩法核心：無限延伸的空間

Manifold Garden

Par : Limsa Lominsa

如上方某關卡的遠視圖所示，主要謎題結構在前後左右和看不見的上下都有重複出現，玩家在任一重力方向踩空的話，便會無限墜落直到控制方向落到另一平面上，如此玩家便能到達平常無法到達的地方，有個平台太遠過不去? 只要朝該方向墜落一下就能過去了。遊戲在這方面設計的墜落時的風切聲和著地時沉重響亮的悶聲很有震撼力。

----------------------------------
綜合以上三點，本作除了能動動腦之外，還能欣賞廣大到看不見邊際的幾何美，在大約5小時的流程中謎題也都保持變化性，算是個優質的燒腦遊戲~

----------------------------------

但本作有個能把燒腦度增加50倍的玩法，有個成就叫做「遊戲還不夠」，要求玩家不放置任何上帝方塊，但正常流程上一定要放置才能前往下一個大關卡，也就是說玩家必須找到隱藏的路線才行....在此推薦這篇指南，它告訴了玩家隱藏門口的位置，但不會告訴你怎麼開那些門，我照著它的流程跑，居然花了跟正常流程一樣多的時間! 因為路途中包含了很多更困難的進階謎題。

解完這個成就相信你會對製作組的巧思感到佩服，要設計一個隱藏起來將各關卡環環相扣的路線已經不容易，本作更是在需要考量6個重力方向的因素下完成，實在不簡單。

非常美丽抽象的线性解谜游戏，主流程谜题简单，流程不算很长，3-6h可以全通。
新的拍照模式太强大了，有话也比之前版本好了很多。
音乐氛围太舒服了。
PS 慎用控制板

10/21:主流程是有隐藏关的，大概率不止一个。我从图书馆用两个红块把一个黄块托举出去后找到了一个特殊入口。里面爆难。

10/25:整个不适用上帝方块的路程已经走出来了。原本主流程相当容易，但全成就不用上帝方块的难度就相当困难了。绕开上帝方块的路径会越来越烧脑，藏的越来越深，解法越来越发散。但走完最后彩虹块碰树上了，整个人都不好了。

这是我好兄弟的号，昨天冬促，在我的推荐下他买了这款游戏。

我的好兄弟长期为3D眩晕所困扰，就属于玩战地走不出两间房就得吐那种。作为朋友，帮他治好3D眩晕，凑齐四人车开求生之路是我毕生的愿望，当我看到这个游戏的时候，我知道这就是游戏行业为他提供的出路。

我坐在他电脑旁边，看着他下玩游戏，启动，真的，作为一个旁观者，我被震撼了。绝妙的关卡设计，顶级的美术和音乐，还有游戏的重中之重：不断切换的平面和不断循环的场景，这种疯狂的游戏机制从根本上挑战了人类对于空间的理解。太对了，这就是我兄弟需要的，当他不在理解空间，他自然也不会眩晕3D，毕竟，谁会被自己不理解的东西所眩晕呢。我又看了眼正在玩游戏的我的兄弟，他紧盯屏幕，目光如炬，嘴里喃喃却又不出言语，身体颤抖，仿佛被醍醐灌顶。我知道，他快了，他很快便将永不会为3D眩晕所扰，美好在前方等待。

哦，你问为啥我兄弟的号是我在写评论？说来惭愧，刚刚他爸妈说把号留给我，哥们走的仓促没留下什么东西，就这steam号当个念想，哎，挺好一人的，说没就没了，另外今天这席上菜做的不错。

世界做的蛮有冲击力的 音乐也很不错 解谜方面配合这钟引力反转的设定 感觉有一点像传送门
ps：我玩了十分钟就顶不住了 每次引力反转我都会头晕想吐 = =

♥♥♥♥ yeah no fall damage. 11/10

流...流形花园？
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
游戏宣传里的无限其实就是周期性边界条件，我觉得制作组还是不够大胆，感觉可以通过商映射粘合映射的方式构造出更多有着奇怪的拓扑结构的空间，那样游戏体验应该会更加震撼

Another great game in a genre that I like to call "mindf*ck first-person puzzlers" like Antichamber or Superliminal, with its main differentiating features being its "infinite" world with huge levels inside it, and your control over gravity (compared to the non-Euclidean design of Antichamber or your control over perspective in Superliminal.

It's also worth pointing out its similarities in level design with the game Naissance, which comes from the fact that both games were influenced by the architectural art of manga artist Nihei and his most famous work, "Blame!".

So. I also recommend this game if you like those two as well (and vice versa).

在我不准确的记忆里，自己第一次听到埃舍尔这个名字是在2014年左右。印象里，那时候《纪念碑谷》初露锋芒，Dan Gray几乎凭一己之力让唯美成了独立游戏的重要注释，也用这游戏突破常人空间想象力的谜题让我回想起来自己曾在《读者》《意境》《青年文摘》看过的那些诡异画作，并暗暗记下了埃舍尔的名字。

很可惜，可能是学业繁忙，亦或是信息不畅，那时候的自己并没有借此机会，让这种兴奋转化成继续了解这位艺术大师的动力，而多年的光阴也磨灭了我脑海中那些同《纪念碑谷》有关的种种记忆，以至于如今当我在steam上看到William Chyr带着《无尽花园（Manifold Garden）》这样一款解谜游戏向埃舍尔的梦中世界致敬时，只是在震撼中感到了若有若无的熟悉，不得不在几番搜肠刮肚后承认自己的无能，然后憋出了一句“厉害呀”来表达自己的心绪。

好在任何时候开始了解埃舍尔都不算晚：他并不是一个优秀的学生，各门功课平平无奇，尤其以数学成绩最不尽如人意；他是一名失败的建筑师，虽有家族荫庇和凌云壮志，但终归还是在失败的考试中与自己梦想失之交臂。然而讽刺的是，如今我们提及这位二十年代最特立独行的艺术大师时，往往会自然而然地为其带上数学家和建筑师的头衔，因为正是这两位埃舍尔寻梦途中的“绊脚石”为埃舍尔的画作注入了缪斯的灵光和雅典娜的智慧，允许他将无限的概念框进了有限的画布里，并用一个个逻辑合理却又完全不可能的场景表达着自己对艺术的理解，也许还有对年轻时自己的嘲讽。

正因如此，有时我会怀疑埃舍尔是否真的希望有人继承他的衣钵，但无论如何，如今作为他忠实拥趸的William Chyr已经用这款《无尽花园》实实在在地将偶像的灰白色迷宫扩建成了博尔豪斯后院交叉的小径：这里的无限便是字面意义上的无限，目之所及皆是平面对称群般构成的无边无际；这里的空间蕴藏这无限的可能，也逻辑严谨地遵从着某些特殊的逻辑；而那些宏伟的建筑主体保持了简洁冷淡色调，仿佛是在还原埃舍尔最擅长的黑白版画——也可能只是让的这花园难得一见的色彩更显鲜明。

最初，花园里的六色（对应四周上下六个方位）荧光只是简单的提醒，它们在一片单调的灰白中为玩家标记出激活状态（可以移动，并受重力影响）下的按钮和方块的踪迹，允许玩家将其作为殊途同归的钥匙，打开前进道路上的某一道门。随着玩家领略过这游戏不可能的空间转换——既对任一与地板构成连续的墙面按下空格，都能在一个简单的提示音后让这墙面成为新的地板后，这些五颜六色的光便也有了锚点和指南针的意味：前者可以帮助玩家逐渐适应游戏解谜思路，后者则保证玩家在这一过程中不会彻底迷失在的这片空间里。

对于不少方向感一般的玩家而言，说这些方块是指南针多少有些名不符实，毕竟它最多只能用自身的颜色和箭头的方向告知玩家目前空间的形态，并不能向玩家提供什么具体方位。不过考虑到到《无尽花园》中九成谜题的关键在于利用这些方块的在空间中的相对位置，这样的信息显然比具体的方位更有帮助：那些才思敏捷——具体说是几何与空间想象力爆炸的玩家自然可以从这样的位置关系里确定解决谜题的最佳方案，利用非激活状态成为周遭环境融为一体（无法移动，无视重力）的方块作为矮墙，挡板或是垫脚石将那些棱角分明的钥匙在空间的一次次有序转换中移动到不可能的平台或是固定在不可能的位置，以此开启通往下一个场景的大门。

一个场景接着一个场景，一个大门接着一个大门，在经过了最开始一两个小时的蜜月期，我对《无尽花园》的感觉逐渐复杂了起来：这在空间任意中穿梭的感觉确实惊艳美妙，仿佛是永不停歇的超现实主义跑酷，亦或是一场场天马行空，又触之可及的思维风暴；但渐渐地……这样的体验会不会有点儿单调？无论是跑路还是解谜，那种初见的震撼始终如瓶中细沙般随时间流逝而慢慢减弱，以至于几小时后的解谜变成了例行公事，跑酷成了对游戏即时奖励的机械反映——没办法，当游戏本身的体验渐渐不足以支撑玩家游戏行为时，我们总是会需要些额外的动力。

诚然，在解决了若干谜题后，制作组会用一段宏大的过场动画暗示玩家的行动正在完善某个更伟大的系统，但那些过于抽象的画面恐怕很难对给玩家一个让自己继续下去的理由；而随着游戏的继续，我愈发感到这样刻意为之的“宏伟”带给我的震撼甚至远不如自己与这世界邂逅时不经意的一瞥……现在想想，可能是因为那时候自己还未曾纠结于这场游戏的意义吧。

是啊，无论是跑酷，解谜，还是画出这样一个个理论上不可能出现的迷宫，这一切有什么意义呢？当荷兰的观众用类似的问题向埃舍尔本人请教时，后者给出了一个科尔多瓦阳光温情脉脉的答案：

“在我的作品里，我想证明，我们生活在一个美丽、秩序井然的世界里，而不是一个漫无标准的混乱世界里……”


彼时埃舍尔风头正劲，其过人的艺术天赋和不懈的努力竟让画家突破了学识间的藩篱，不仅在研究镶嵌图案的绘画技巧时找齐了标准平面对称群的全部十七种可能性，还为其增添了“色彩”这一全新变量，相信也是这段经历让画家有了足够的自信，开始探索自然之中的数学美。埃舍尔是正确的，多年以后阿兰·图灵用发现了生物的“自组织”现象，彻底证明了这世界的熵增背后的数学逻辑，但此时画家本身却对世界有了全新的感悟：

“但是就我个人而言，我怀疑是否存在一个真实的、客观的世界。所有的感官只是向我们揭示了一个主观的世界；我们能做的只是思考，并得出结论认为我们的世界是生活在一个客观的世界里。”

在那之后，埃舍尔依然在创作人们津津乐道的“不可能结构”，作品整体风格依然逻辑严谨又无比玄幻，但似乎多了几分黑暗和苦涩的幽默感。在某种意义上，这便是埃舍尔一系列作品的灵魂和生命力，也是这款《无尽花园》最欠缺的东西。


从整体风格上看，《无尽花园》精确还原的是埃舍尔全盛时期的作品：一边是作为游戏解谜机制的视错觉空间，一边是埃舍尔从青年时期便热衷于创作的镶嵌图案，有时还出现了和其著名渐变画一样鱼·鸟，它们扬起翅膀带来一片勃勃生机。更可贵的是，在现代科技的帮助下，William Chyr居然在不占用多少硬件资源的前提下，将埃舍尔用一鳞半爪勾勒出的幻兽完整地还原在了玩家面前，可以说已经将这种风格还原到了极致。


可正如前文所说，这样的作品所带来的震撼会在玩家的第一次邂逅中达到顶峰，随后便开始了不可避免的衰减……这不怪制作组，哪怕是埃舍尔本人最震撼人心的作品也不可能在在数小时的时间里牢牢攥住观众100%的注意力，William Chyr只是在艺术性和游戏性之间选择了前者，却也用“埃舍尔楼梯”牢牢困住了自己的思维。

可类似的情况出现在《无尽花园》的游戏体验里，那就应该是制作组的责任了。说实话，满打满算《无尽花园》中的解谜元素也称得上丰富，但它们归根结底是一种思维转换，是适应，而非学习的过程，这意味着如果您缺少空间几何的天赋，无法在脑海中任意旋转游戏所呈现的空间，那么这段无疑会异常痛苦的解谜之旅并不会让您轻松习得这样的天赋；相反，若您空间想象能力哪怕只是略高于常人，也足以在几次解谜以后迅速摸清《无尽花园》谜题设计的思路，从而彻底丢掉解谜的快乐……

对一般的解谜游戏来说，这可完全不是问题，不过考虑到制作组似乎完全没有把诸如汉诺塔，华容道这类烂俗却非常好用的经典谜题融入游戏机制的打算，我仿佛感受到了William Chyr Studio作为艺术型游戏团体的铮铮傲骨，相信他们从一开始便做好了准备迎接那些和游戏难度有关的种种争议——或者从实际结果上看，他们更应该对自家作品的实力成竹在胸，自信那些小小的问题不会成为《无尽花园》收获好评路上的绊脚石。

截至发稿，《无尽花园》在steam上的好评率高达97%，绝对是近年不可多得的独立佳作。从目前评论上看，William Chyr 对游戏艺术性的深耕确实足以让大多数玩家忽略，甚至是选择主动无视游戏相对单薄的核心玩法，毫不吝啬地给出自己的好评……这对独立游戏圈，乃至整个单机游戏圈来说都是天大的好事儿，随着“第九艺术”这一概念更加深入人心，也许终有一天游戏会真正为社会所悦纳，成为主流文化的重要载体。因此在这样的作艺术佳作中，死盯着其游戏性上的瑕疵不放确实有些不合时宜，可作为游戏评论人员，我认为自己有义务……好吧，至少我还能写上几条《无尽花园》游玩建议。

我认为，在某种程度上《无尽花园》是一部静态的游戏作品，其一成不变的解谜思路和艺术风格决定着您不可能在这游戏中一连体验数个小时还意犹未尽。对于这样的作品，也许您可以试着以欣赏平面艺术的方式来对待这款游戏：兴致来了就玩儿上一阵子，心满意足就果断离开，不带着什么目的，别想着什么时候通关，甚至不要去尝试理解这一切，就由着性子去尽情感受吧。

It gave me that Antichamber vibes. Really liked this one

1.喵觉得这游戏相当好玩。
2.喵觉得这个游戏很与众不同。
3.喵3D一直很好，从不晕3D。
4.喵有一天玩了4个小时以后对着显示器吐了。

the graphical design and gameplay(in a way) makes this feel like an actual antichamber sequel

I'll simply say that if you played Witness and wish you could experience something like the moment you felt like you'd been doing a simple game and it became many times more breathtaking, then Manifold Garden is a simple game where you suddenly realize you have transcended gravity and space and the world is both within your grasp and out of your control.

This game is cool. I had fun falling around the level geometry in pretty much every room, especially after i discovered there are secret side paths hidden in some levels (funnily enough, i accidentally completely skipped the green god cube because of one of them) . As far as puzzle games go though, it is disappointing. It feels like the developers ran out of ideas in the first half. In the second half of the game i spent a lot of time falling around trying to find more parts to the puzzles because i was expecting the puzzles to actually get harder as the game went on, except they didn't. A couple times a new mechanic was introduced, used once, then never used again until hours later in the finale.

Did i enjoy this game? Yeah. the built in photo-mode is great. Give it a go, if you think the game-play physics will blow your mind, like it blew mine, then play it. Even if the puzzles don't meet your (or my) standards, you will probably have fun falling your way through the level geometry for all 10 hours of a playthrough like i did.

光敏性癫痫警告！！！
准备退款了，游戏是个好游戏，但是使用高亮高饱和的大量纯色环境，搭配上空间旋转，游戏时间19分钟，开始感到视觉聚焦能力下降，方位感崩溃，伴有胃部不适。
感觉到轻微症状的时候我赶紧停止了游戏，这游戏不适合我。建议制作组学习一下怎样避免让人产生生理不适感，FEZ，Portal,Gravity Rush都有可取之处。
----------------------------------------------------
Optical SEIZURE WARNING!!!
Gonna refund, good game, though. Massive use of pure colours in high brightness& high saturation combining space inverting is disastrous. 19 mins in game, eyes lost focus, directions collapsed and stomach rebelled.
Gaming ceased as I felt slight symptoms. Good game, but not for me. Devs might want to look into other cases as FEZ, Portal, Gravity Rush as speaking of avoiding such physical unwellnesses.

That's not a bad game, but it did not feel special at all.

I am a huuuge fan of Antichamber and the Witness, and they both were a very special experience for me, I wanted to explore every single corner, find every secret and get every achievement there is. But with this game, I honestly could not bother.

I did not get a couple of secret achievements, but I just don't want to try -- there is no sense of thrill or reward to explore this world, because the secrets can be hidden literally anywhere -- no direction, no path seems odd, out of place or appealing to explore, you can go in any direction you want, which makes it feel dull, and I just wanted to complete an area and move further, rather than check every corner in every possible direction. I saw some closed doors and weird locations, but once the area is complete, I had no desire to come back and solve its secrets.

Moreover, the puzzles in this game rarely challenge you to think more than for a couple of minutes. Mostly you will have troubles locating necessary elements rather than solving what to do with them. And many places felt just unnecessary slow, like unskipable titles in the end or colourful animations in the end of each chapter.

The game is finished, and it soon will be forgotten, while The Witness and Antichamber will stay in my heart forever

무한으로 뻗어져 있는 세계에서, 중력을 마음대로 조정하여 정원을 가꾸어 나가면 되는 1인칭 퍼즐 게임

제목인 Manifold Garden을 해석하면 이 게임의 본질을 눈치챌 수 있을 텐데, Manifold란 다양체로, 좁게 보면 유클리드 공간과 같지만 멀리서 보면 독특한 구조를 지닌다는 위상 공간…. 이라고 위키피디아에 적혀 있다. 위상수학을 전공했다면 이것보다 더 잘 설명할 수 있겠지만, 대충 말하자면 가까이서 보면 평범해 보이는데 멀리서 보면 일반적인 기하학 법칙을 벗어난다는 것이다. 그래서 게임 내 세계는 일반적인 게임처럼 경계가 있는 게 아니라 무한히 펼쳐져 있다. (정확히 말하자면, 하나의 정육면체 형 공간을 복사 밑 붙여넣기를 하여 무한히 반복시켜 놓은 세계라 생각하면 편하다.) 대충 보았을 때는 일반적인 1인칭 퍼즐 게임과 다를 게 없어 보이지만, 아래로 떨어지게 되면 낙사하는 게 아니라 아까 떨어진 거 같았던 공간에 다시 착지를 하게 되는 현상을 게임 시작한 지 10분도 안 되어 경험해 볼 수 있는 것부터, 이 게임만의 독특한 세계를 느낄 수 있게 된다. 이 메커니즘은 퍼즐을 풀 때만 장점이 보이는 게 아니라 비주얼적으로도 꽤 장점이었는데, 스팀 페이지의 스크린샷들처럼 퍼즐 하나하나를 풀어나가는 공간들이 장엄하고 웅장한 느낌을 주었다. 특히 이게 게임 내내 나오는 분위기 있는 사운드트랙과 잘 어울려 무슨 예술작품을 체험하고 감상하는 느낌을 들게 만들었다.

무한으로 반복되는 장엄한 세계 말고도 이 게임에서 퍼즐을 풀 때 쓰는 다른 메커니즘은 중력 조종인데, 스페이스바만 누르면 바라보는 벽의 수직 방향으로 중력을 바로 바꿀 수 있을 만큼, 게임 내내 중력을 가지고 놀게 된다. 이 두 메커니즘이 합쳐져서, 플레이어는 거의 모든 공간 구석구석을 제약없이 움직일 수 있게 된다. 다만 이들을 이용해 풀어야 하는 실제 퍼즐 난이도의 경우 그렇게 어렵다고 느껴지지 않았는데, (밑에서 서술할 특별 루트를 제외하고는) 플레이타임이 약 4시간 정도로, 뭔가 매우 어려워 보이는 게임 같아 보이지만 막상 감만 잡고 시행착오만 적절히 거치면 무난하게 풀려나가는 퍼즐들로 구성되어 있다고 생각되었다. 그렇다고 퍼즐 난이도를 가지고 이 게임을 비난하고 싶지는 않다. 개인적으로 Manifold Garden은 어려운 퍼즐들보다는 시각적인 즐거움에 더 집중되어 있는 게임이라고 생각되었고, 시각적으로는 충분히 만족감을 주었던 게임이기 때문이다.

위 문단에서 Manifold Garden이라는 제목을 해석하면 게임의 본질을 알 수 있을 것이라 말하였는데, 뒷 단어인 Garden이 바로 이 게임의 줄거리와 같은 부분이다. 게임을 진행하면서 퍼즐들을 풀고 God Cube라는 독특한 큐브들을 모아 게임 내 세계에 존재하는 암흑 물질들을 없애고 나무를 심는 게 게임의 진행 방식인데, 이 큐브들을 심어주는 과정이나 그 과정에서 보이는 연출 또한 (위에서 한번 말했지만) 시각적으로 정말 마음에 들었던 부분이었다. 물론 게임 내 스토리는 거의 없는 것과 마찬가지지만 (엔딩의 경우도, 게임 내 스토리를 풀기보다는 추상적인 연출이지만) 애초에 스토리 중심의 퍼즐게임이 아니다 보니 이것 또한 크게 지적할 부분은 아니라고 생각한다. 다만 여기서 업적 100%를 노리는 사람들이라면 함정이 하나 있는데, 사실 이 게임은 God Cube들을 안 모으고 게임을 깰 수 있는 방법 (그리고 이와 관련된 업적) 이 있다. 이 루트의 경우 일반적으로 게임을 깨는 루트보다 훨씬 어렵고, 1회차 때는 공략 없이는 거의 못 깰 정도로 게임에 어느 정도 안목이 있어야 하기 때문에 나처럼 빡대가리라면 혼자서는 못 생각해 내고 유튜브 공략을 베껴야 할 것이다. 개인적으로, 1회차부터 공략을 보는 것보다는, 한 번 의도한 대로 게임을 즐기고 난 뒤 2회차 때 한 번 위에서 말한 특별 루트를 시도해보는 걸 권장한다.


결론적으로, 게임 내 세상 및 퍼즐들의 메커니즘이 마음에 들었고, 게임 내 비주얼 및 연출들이 취향을 저격하였기 때문에, 퍼즐 장르의 게임들을 극도로 혐오하지 않는다면 한 번 해보라고 꼭 추천하고 싶은 게임. 위에서 말한 히든 루트를 제외한 메인 루트의 경우, 1인칭 퍼즐 게임에 약한 나도 지나치게 막힌 부분은 없었기 때문에, 난이도는 가벼우면서도 시각적으로는 힐링을 하고 싶은 퍼즐 게임을 해보고 싶다면 이 게임을 해보는 걸 권장한다.

여담) 많은 한국어 게임 평가에 이 게임을 Antichamber와 비교하는 경우가 보이던데, 두 게임을 모두 해본 입장에서 “분위기와 장르가 비슷할지 몰라도, 게임의 방향성은 전혀 다르다” 라고 생각한다. Antichamber의 경우 (Antichamber 내 히든 루트들을 제외한) 본 게임만 한다고 가정해도 퍼즐 난이도가 이 게임만큼 쉽지는 않았다고 느꼈으며, 게임을 진행하면서 초반에는 지나쳤던 공간을 다시 방문해 새로운 해결 방안을 찾아내는 점이 매력이었다고 생각한다. 또한 이 때문에 게임이 직선형보다는 탐험도 어느 정도 해야 하고, 갈림길이 많이 있는 던전을 탐방하는 느낌이 들었다. Manifold Garden의 경우는 Antichamber보다 시각적인 자극에 집중을 더 두었다고 생각하며, (히든 루트를 제외한) 본 게임은 꽤 직선형 구성이었다. 개인적으로 두 게임 모두 각각의 매력을 지닌 게임이어서, 어느 한 쪽과 유사한 게임플레이나 매력을 기대하고 다른 게임을 해보면 실망할 것이라 생각되고, 두 게임이 서로 과도하게 비슷하다는 선입견을 버리는 걸 추천한다.

Beautiful,

buuuuuuuuut I have issues with seizures so I had to return it.

This game is like if you gave MC Escher some LSD and he made a cooler Antichamber

It's a great game. Fun and satisfying puzzles, interesting mechanics and themes, and fantastic visuals. For me, the first playthrough was just right in gameplay and difficulty - some thinkers, but nothing that stumped me for too long. A very enjoyable experience. One minor criticism is that it's very linear, whereas I was expecting something more in the vein of Space Hole.

[Spoilers may follow, I'm making this a mini-guide to secret content.]

However, if you only play it once to the ending, you're missing out on a significant portion of the game (including a second ending). And yet the game barely even prods you in that direction. I only knew to look because of the achievements and a couple things I noticed in my playthrough (not that I had any recollection of where they were once I was done). You have to really, really be looking and scour every nook to find the path through the second playthrough. I almost felt like I needed a map of the whole game - and I have no idea what that would look like, given the nature of the physics. Compared to the relative ease of the primary path, it's a big change. I personally did not want to spend the dozens of hours on it, so I used guides when I wasn't sure where to go next. The guide on Steam is too vague, so I recommend the video by Lilith LeBlanc.

Once you're done the second playthrough, technically you will have 100%ed the game (or just have a couple achievements that are easy to mop up). But there's actually still more! Just after the very beginning of the game, there's a well hidden alternate path leading straight to the ending. And then, in between the purple and orange god spaces, there's another well hidden path that actually contains more puzzles and more paths. These are extremely easy to miss, especially if you think you're done after the second ending. I would really have liked for the game to give more direction and acknowledgement of them.
(Please let me know if I missed any other side areas. I'd like to play them too :P)

I recommend keeping your save files for easier backtracking. A significant missing feature is the ability to duplicate save files, so that you can explore alternate routes and mess around without blocking off areas by accident (or having to beat the whole game again). Thankfully, just copying and renaming save files works perfectly (e.g duplicate your main file and rename it from 1 to 6). They're stored in AppData/LocalLow/William Chyr Studio/Manifold Garden/Saves.

Antichamber on LSD

在玩到最后的时候我的眼眶湿了，震撼到完全不知道怎么描述我的情绪。
一个没有剧情的解谜游戏的视觉效果能做到如此惊艳的地步，其中的分形，混沌，结构美学无一不美
能玩到这款游戏是我的荣幸，感谢制作团队，感谢这个时代……………………（太喜欢了但文字完全无法表达我万分之一的震撼

There's an inherent distance between how architecture is molded in real life and in video games. The idea behind architecture is creating forms from establishments in a pre-defined space. Those forms are walls that make a room, textures that wrap pillars, and shapes that elucidate the inner and outer space. From that, you start picking out the more specific forms, a bedroom, a basement, a walkway, a garden, and together, they become whole, an establishment formed by physics, space, and of course, blueprints.

But, video games don't need to follow those rules. In a 3D software, we can create anything, a human model with no arms and cheekbones spiral from eye sockets, a fluffy 8-legged dog, or whatever Cruelty Squad is. So, what if we do the same with digital architecture?

The idea behind Manifold Garden is simple: what happens when architecture is no longer bound by the limitations of real life? The concept that one would call "impossible architecture" is depicted in a very thoughtful and shockingly non-abstract way in this game, in which falling down a building will loop you back to it on a Y-axis direction, as if you are alone in a non-physics-defined playground.

Manifold Garden is full of architecture that is impossible to be sketched like that: mirrored stairs, identical floating towers marching towards or apart from each other, humongous halls with nothing but glass. Because of this, puzzles in this game are often just as unorthodox as how the game itself looks: you need to grab a cube above you but there's no stair or any path that leads to it, but because the building loops itself when you leave it, you can land right on the place with the cube just by jumping down.

This is nothing short of genius, especially when Manifold Garden starts putting you in the exterior space around objects that make you look like an insignificant lone matter. The puzzles don't progressively get more challenging; they become more involving with how the world evolves. It began with simple cubes and yellow-ish flat walls, to harsh color shades, gravity, and probable constructions that resemble mother nature elements. The deeper you dig into this place, the more unsettling you might feel, because architecture is meant to create order, and anything that defines order will bear an uncanny vibe to it.

In short, Manifold Garden is a brilliant and somewhat terrifying example of how digital construct can dwarf our perception towards the nature of reality.

非常优秀的解密游戏，重点在于此游戏非同寻常的艺术性，真的让人无时无刻都想截图。

事实证明，只要有强大的游戏设计能力，单纯的方块也能营造出令人震撼的视觉效果！向开发者致敬！！！

Ein Rätselspiel mit einem außerordentlichen Leveldesign, das mich sehr beeindruckte.

Oben und unten ist relativ 

Une capture d'écran de Manifold Garden

Par : Keks

"Eschers Garten" wäre vielleicht ein noch besserer Titel gewesen. Eine Mannigfaltigkeit im mathematischen Sinne ist m.M.n. nicht zu sehen, sondern eher eine Aufteilung des Raumes in identische 3D-Kacheln, ähnlich wie in 2D die Fliesen eine Badezimmerwand in identische Teile aufteilen.

Ähnlich wie in der arabischen Kunst hat auch M.C. Escher (auf den sich die Entwickler beziehen) solche Flächenaufteilungen gemacht, oft etwas komplexer, also nicht gleichbleibend große Elemente. Bsp. "Smaller and smaller".

Hier im Spiel sind diese Kacheln, also Quader, meist groß bis riesig. Wir bewegen uns in dieser Welt, gefüllt mit fremdartiger Architektur die aus Elementen besteht, die an den 6 Raumrichtungen (wir sagen dazu meist Oben, Unten, Links, Rechts, Vorne, Hinten) ausgerichtet sind.

Der zweite wichtige Clou des Spieles ist, dass es kein fest definiertes Unten gibt. Wir wechseln zu einem neuen Unten, indem wir eine anders ausgerichtete Fläche anklicken.

Soviel zur Theorie. Eine Geschichte gibt es praktisch nicht. Dann also zum

Gameplay

Das Gameplay ist an sich ein Portal light. Man hat Würfel, die man auf Sensoren legen muss und man hat Schalter, die man betätigen sollte.

Die oben beschriebene Struktur des Raumes ermöglicht und erfordert dabei ungewöhnliche Vorgehensweisen. So können wir fast nur nach unten gehen (außer bei kleinen Treppenstufen und bei Wechsel zu einem anderen Unten).

Die Rätsel sind theoretisch nicht schwer (hinterher wirkt alles einfacher), aber man muss die Würfel erst finden, man sollte die Orientierung nicht verlieren und einen Weg zum Ziel finden.

Würfelige Aufgaben

Par : Keks

Ja, es stimmt schon, obwohl später noch ein paar Dinge hinzu kommen, das Gameplay ist nicht so abwechslungsreich wie bspw. das erwähnte Portal. Da wäre noch etwas mehr denkbar gewesen. Aber es ist auch so nicht schlecht.

Etwas irreführend finde ich die Beschreibung, wir würden Gärten erschaffen. Ich denke, wir erschaffen nichts, allenfalls säubern wir die Gegend von seltsam wabernden schwarzen Wolken.

Wir durchqueren etwa 7 riesige Level, die allerdings miteinander verbunden sind. Dadurch habe ich mich einmal hoffnungslos verirrt und musste da Spiel nochmals beginnen. Es gibt nämlich nur einen Spielstand (pro Spieldurchlauf). Man kann manuell speichern. Das Spiel speichert vermutlich nur an bestimmten Stellen automatisch.

Es machte mir aber auch viel Spaß, die jeweilige Welt zu durchstreifen und zu bewundern. Dieses Erlebnis einer solch ungewöhnlich aufgebauten Welt hat bei mir einen bleibenden Eindruck hinterlassen, der das bloße Gameplay übertrifft.

Das Spiel wird oft mit Superliminal und Antichamber verglichen, wohl weil alle drei Spiele die bekannten Regeln unseres 3D-Raumes brechen (eigentlich machen das viele Spiele). Superliminal habe ich schon gespielt und ja, es ist noch origineller, dennoch beide bzw. alle finde ich auf ihre Art ein tolles Erlebnis.

Darkness falls upon the land ...

Technik

Bei höchsten Grafikeinstellungen läuft die GPU bei mir auf Vollast, bei mittleren Einstellungen sind es immer noch etwa 80%. Die CPU ist auch ziemlich beschäftigt. Die dargestellte Grafik kann dies aber m.E. nicht rechtfertigen. Der einzige Punkt ist eben der Clou, dass alles im Prinzip in offenen Gebieten bis in beliebige Entfernung dargestellt werden müsste. Die Entwickler haben aber selbst alles sehr weit Entfernte in einem Nebel verschwinden lassen. Zudem werden weiter weg liegende Objekte nur in Umrissen dargestellt. Insofern theoretisch alles gemacht, um diese Belastung der GPU zu vermeiden.

Die Level bestehen aus einer ungewöhnlichen Architektur, auch die Übergänge zwischen Bereichen ist interessant gestaltet. Das war beeindruckend. Die Grafik selbst ist hingegen sehr einfach gehalten, beinahe minimalistisch.

Die ganze Grafik samt Leveldesign wird mir aber positiv in Erinnerung bleiben.

Der Sound ist einfach aber OK. An bestimmten Stellen, meist Levelübergängen, kommt eine Musik.

Die Steuerung mit Controller funktioniert einwandfrei. Mit Tastatur/Maus geht es ebenso (man kann die Tasten auch umbelegen).

Sonstiges

Ich habe etwa 10h für einen Durchgang benötigt (+1h für einen Neustart, nachdem ich die Orientierung verloren habe).

Die meisten Errungenschaften erhält man automatisch. Die wenigen optionalen Errungenschaften können aber etwas schwierig sein (ohne Guide).


Ein sehr ungewöhnliches, gutes Rätselspiel, noch mehr durch sein außerordentliches Leveldesign, als durch Portal-ähnliche Aufgaben.

---

Dies ist mein subjektiver Spieleindruck. Für meine Wertung zählt, wie gut es mich unterhalten hat. Entsprechend der Daumen nach oben oder unten, abhängig davon, ob ich es einem ähnlich gesinnten Spieler weiterempfehle. Der Spieleindruck eines anderen Spielers kann aber durchaus stark davon abweichen.

-Read "Doors of Perception" by Aldous Huxley
-Play Manifold Garden
-Come talk to me about how you're feeling

Every level you complete, the game rewards you with an acid trip especially in the final level.

This game helped me grasp a very small understanding of infinity.

I have never had my breath taken away, or exclaimed "oh wow" out loud by myself to an empty room to any other piece of media I can think of. This game is BEAUTIFUL. Other words that come to mind: Breathtaking, Gorgeous, Serene, Transcendental. I highly, highly recommend.

Relatively easy puzzler with a focus on exploring infinitely tessellated spaces from all 6 directions in 3D space. Your primary ability is to rotate the world 90° so that gravity points towards a new down, forcing you to think about the space from a whole new direction.

If you dig the trippy, MC-escher-esque feel of the trailer → you won't be disappointed with this game

If you're looking for a mind-bending puzzle game → tread carefully

The biggest mind-bending challenge is figuring out how to explore each successive space to locate the elements of the puzzle and how they are positioned relative to each other in 3D space. Which is more akin to a challenging walking simulator than a puzzle game. Thankfully this is quite fun owing to the trippy environments, with enough variety to keep things fresh.

The puzzles themselves are polished—like I don't think you can ever get stuck—but they're also, you could say, uninspired. Here are some comparisons:

Portal 1 and 2 - many challenges leave you thinking "whoa, they kinda bent my brain solving that"; that never happens in Manifold Garden. In Portal, all the elements feel fully explored across the game; in Manifold Garden it's got portals too (albeit static portals) but they're barely explored from a puzzle perspective, and you can say the same about the rest of the tools you're given.

Talos Principle - so often you're like "how on earth am I going to solve it with only these 3 items"; in Manifold Garden the hard part is recognizing that the game gave you like 5 cubes but you only need 2 to solve it so don't overthink the solution.

Antichamber - the most direct comparison, as this was the first non-Euclidean-space, 1st-person puzzle game to popularize the genre. Antichamber is less polished and harder to get started with, but once you "get it" the puzzles are very addicting and it's hard to put the game down until you finish. Manifold Garden is significantly more welcoming to new players, but lacking in the "addictive challenge" department.

tl;dr a trippy puzzle game, but one that leans on🚶simulator elements to sell the game in lieu of mind-bending challenges

I should preface this by saying Antichamber is one of my favourite games of all time, so it's difficult for me not to make comparisons with something as outwardly as similar as Manifold Garden. That being said, these are not similar games, despite what appearances suggest.

The design is art. There is absolutely no other way to encapsulate it; this game is about the incredible splendor provided by a flat textured but exceptionally colourful labyrinthine experience, that will break your brain if you try to take parts of it in all at once. It uses colours in a simple but superbly effective manor, deeply contrasted against the colourless main stage.

The visuals are always changing, constantly presenting new ideas that will perpetually make you say 'wow' out loud. The puzzles however can tend to suffer from the same issue, mechanics are introduced and then barely used to 10% of their potential. Where games like Antichamber take mechanics beyond the scope of what you could imagine possible, Manifold Garden focuses more on the exploration side, with most of my time spent walking around picking up and relocating the pieces required for the solution as opposed to actually solving it.

The soundtrack is exceptional, with just the right amount of ethereal beauty but layered with quiet undertones to make sure they don't wear out. Due to the non-euclidean nature of the game there were times I'd accidentally find the exact point where the music game triggers were set over and over creating a break in the immersion, but these were rare enough they weren't a problem.

Overall, this is truly an experience I would recommend to anyone, and one that will stick with me for a while. The puzzles were incredibly simple and sometimes a bit drawn out, but the main selling point of this game to me is the atmosphere, the design, and the sheer majesty of the visuals. Must have for anyone who likes this genre.

無限ループする構造物を、立方体の各面6方向に重力を変えて進んでいくパズルアドベンチャー。この無限ループする構造物という世界表現が素晴らしく、このゲームにしかない不思議な体験を味わえる。トレイラーから期待できる通りの体験は得られるので、映像を見て気になった方は買ってみるといいだろう。

ただ、難解そうな世界表現に対してパズルが簡単すぎ、単調さを感じた。見た目に反して間口が広いとも言えるが、パズル好きとしてはもっと手応えのあるものを期待していたので残念。

Badとなる点を上げたが、この独特な世界表現は一見の価値があるのでおすすめしたい。プレイ時間は5時間程度。値段に見合う内容は十分に感じた。

There aren't words to describe how much I love this game. It's absolutely my game of the year for 2020. I would recommend it to anyone who likes spatial puzzles.

Full Review:
+Visual style is unique and beautiful and reminds me of old sci-fi book covers.
+Sound design is subtle, emotional, perfectly executed.
+Puzzles are beautifully designed. No tutorial needed, you learn as you go, and the solutions get pretty clever.
+Gravity-flipping mechanic honestly expanded my perspective of the real world.
+There is more to the game than first meets the eye. You can get to the end in a few hours, but finding all the secrets is a much longer process. I'm nowhere near finished even after 10 hours on Epic and 12 hours on Steam.
+The game does not make you feel as dizzy as it might look.

-Potential risk of dizziness, disorientation, or motion sickness in some people, but generally I'm very susceptible to simulation sickness and I have NO troubles with it in Manifold Garden.
-Some of the secrets require a bit of drudgery to find because they are so well-hidden.
-Frustrating to return to reality after playing for a while.

To sum up: If you think you might like this game, you probably will. Strongly recommend it.

Прекрасный образец головоломки со сменой гравитации в 6 плоскостях и элементами рекурсии.

Reminds me of Antichamber in how the world around you isn't always what it seems.

“The Beauty of Escher, The Combination of Aesthetics and Creativity,Reflections on Surrealism and Euclidean geometry,It explains the cycle and infinity"

游戏概念很惊艳，解谜流程不算难。重力和无限是游戏解谜核心。它没有任何写实元素，除菜单外，整部游戏没有出现一个文字，只有秩序、对称、重复和无限，以及由线条和几何构架而生的几何美。欧几里得几何在各方向无穷重复。所有关卡都采用了“无限回廊”设计——不必害怕坠落。

除了一些人会晕3D外，我几乎挑不出任何缺点了。游戏是第一人称，加上要不断操控、改变、颠倒重力。晕3D这个确实看个人，我一口气玩了三个小时也没怎么晕。

但更为冲击视觉的是埃舍尔美学的演出——超现实的解谜逻辑与重力相纠缠为一、艺术与游戏机制的绝妙结合，领略矛盾空间和错觉的神迹，在见证无限之美的那一刻，似乎窥见了一缕永恒。
结局的震撼令人失神。

6/10

This game has a super cool concept, and the puzzles are interesting. And honestly, it's gorgeous.

That said, my big gripe with the game is that every single puzzle seems to be an short introduction to a new mechanic. Each color area seems to consist of three puzzles to illustrate how a concept works, one actual puzzle to check you got the concept, and then it's on to the next area.

The whole game feels like the glued together introduction sections of a more fleshed out game. It either needed more puzzles, or fewer concepts. None of the (admittedly very cool) puzzle mechanics really have a chance to stretch their legs. And there were very few puzzles at all that used multiple concepts (beyond the core concepts of block goes on spot, room spins around)

Overall, super cool concept, beautiful art style (except the ending which looked kinda silly and out of place), but let down by a lack of interesting puzzles that really utilize the mechanics introduced in the game.

Rico em puzzles diferenciados, nenhum se repete do começo ao fim, é um jogo absurdamente lindo apesar de simples, vale totalmente o preço.

Obs importante: Pessoas sensíveis a cores vibrantes ou com problemas de epilepsia tomem cuidado com o final dele.

Tanpınar romanı gibi oyun. Oynarken Zaman mekan kavramını unutuyorsun. Aşağı boşluğa kendini bıraktın mı öyle bir özgürlük hissi veriyor ki rüyada gibi hissediyorsun. Düşerken sonsuza kadar sürecek bir döngüye giriyorsun. Yanından akıp giden binaları görünce zannediyorsun ki sonsuz seçenek var ama aslında o binalar birbirinin tekrarı. Bunun kötü bir şey olduğunu söylemiyorum aksine atmosfer olarak daha önce böyle farklı bir oyun görmemiştim.
Ancak bulmacalar baya zorluyor şimdiden uyarayım:)

I have been waiting for this game for a long time and when it finally landed on Steam a year late, it was a day 1 buy in no questions asked. I finished it in a couple of days and it was worth every penny. I played this one off the back of finishing Antichamber and it might just be the perfect comedown game to that, The Witness, Portal or The Talos Principle. That hollow feeling I get when I say goodbye to an awesome game was nicely filled in by Manifold Garden and I’m here to tell you why.

+ humble. Manifold Garden knows what it is right from the very start, which is a very beautiful walk through an MC Escher-like world. And even though it is a unique puzzle game that holds its own, it is also a loveletter to the greats that came before it and most likely inspired it. There are even cheevos named “Witness the Laser” and “Now You’re Thinking with Portals.”

+ familiar but fresh. Sure it has light bridges from Portal, giant Tetris blocks, companion cubes and perspective shifts from Antichamber but they are all presented in a way that will make you say “oh, that’s clever” and they then become Manifold Garden’s property and are not just shamefully stolen from other puzzle games.

+ easy on the curves. I found the difficulty curve to be very fair in this game. I don’t think I was ever fully blocked on a puzzle even though when you first enter an area and see the size of it you might be daunted and let out a big sigh. Every new mechanic has a tutorial room to help you understand it. But make no mistake there will be a few areas where you will get stuck and the game is not without its challenges. You might even find that there is an entirely new playthrough waiting for you to unlock some seemingly impossible cheevos.

+ soothing. Maybe it’s the music. Maybe it’s the way you can base jump into infinity and just fall forever on a constant loop. Maybe it’s the simple visuals and freedom of movement. There is just something so calming about Manifold Garden. There is no urgency. No countdown timers, no fail conditions, no threats. This game is pretty zen.

+ “If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music.” - Albert Einstein. The music and sounds in this game are….well without hyperbole….perfect. I couldn’t have asked for more. Every single in game sound has this very satisfying feeling. The music seems to swell as you are advancing things and feeds your excitement for puzzle solving. Aural excellence.

- story. I know. I can hear you now shouting “Not everything needs a story!” But for me it does. Otherwise I have to make one up. And if I was good at making up stories I would be writing them, not playing games on Steam. Manifold Garden is sorely lacking in the story department. It is not the kind of game where there are other NPCs to meet and there is really not much in the way for a vehicle for storytelling, verbal or otherwise. I was hoping for a solid ending to at least give me a sniff of a story but I got none. A lot of people say the ending is amazing. I just think it was pretty.

- playtime. It took me 9 hours to finish this. I gawk, I take screenshots, I just bask in the game I play that are good. If you are an objective focused, laser guided missile then expect a playtime of around half of mine and then you decide if the cost:time ratio works for you.

If walking along all 6 planes of a Rubik’s Cube and slotting smaller cubes into place whilst trying to overcome gravity and wrapping your head around Cartesian coordinates so you can base jump sideways falling up the z-axis sounds like fun then I would say….Buy This Game. Do it for the hypercubes that release all the little birdies.

Siendo claros y concisos, Manifold Garden es un juego apto para los que les guste el género, pues hay alternativas mejores, sobre todo por la inexistente historia, no hay textos, ni audios, ni ningún componente visual que nos indique un atisbo de guión o historia (como mucho en alguna sala se escucha algún grito de fondo, o tráfico de coches, pero nada que indique realmente nada).
Su grandísima baza, pues evidentemente el diseño artístico ultra minimalista, ♥♥♥ la recreación de unos escenarios en forma de "bucles infinitos". De hecho, es una gozada lanzarse al vacío y volver a aparecer en el mismo sitio mientras vemos enormes torres infinitas pasar entre nosotros. Evidentemente, esto es parte de la jugabilidad y ♥♥♥ lo que tendremos que ingeniárnoslas para pasar los diferentes rompecabezas basados en gravedad y física que nos propone.
Manifold Garden juega un poco ♥♥♥ la geometría no euclidiana:
https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometr%C3%ADa_no_euclidiana
Es decir, una ida de olla, pero funciona muy bien :D y da lugar a situaciones surrealistas.
Es lo más parecido a estar dentro del Teseracto de la película de Interestellar (sobre todo la "fumada mental" de la parte final del juego).
En cuanto a sus puzzles y mecánicas, pues son un poco simples, aunque alguno nos hará pensar un poco. Alguien que no esté familiarizado ♥♥♥ el género creo que puede desorientarse bastante ♥♥♥ el concepto "arriba-abajo" pues, en este juego no existe eso, ya que ♥♥♥ un botón cambiamos la gravedad siempre que queramos y es ♥♥♥ esta mecánica ♥♥♥ la que llegaremos a los diferentes sitios que se nos pide.
Por cierto, el desarrollo del juego es una especie de mundo abierto, pudiendo recorrerlo al reves cuando queramos.
No me ha gustado que no nos veamos el cuerpo, pues considero que en este juego habría quedado muy bien el vernos repetidos en infinidad de bucles en la distancia (como ocurre ♥♥♥ los cubos que tiramos al vacío por ejemplo).
La banda sonora relajante, como suele ser habitual en esta clase de títulos pero nada reseñable.
En definitiva, hay mejores exponentes al género (The Witness, The Talos Principle, Outer Wilds, Portal 2 o The Filament), pero aun así creo que es un buen juego indie mas cerca de obras como Superliminal que de absolutas obras maestras como los antes mencionados, pero que aun así, si eres fan del género disfrutaras sin duda.

I can play this game for over an hour without realizing I was even at my computer.

I never knew that the infinite could give me that feeling of dread before I had played Manifold Garden. That vastness is definitely the primary reason why I would recommend this game, as it's truly unique in that sense.

The puzzles are alright. A lot of them, especially towards the end, commit the cardinal sin of physically taking longer to solve than mentally. That is, I knew what the solution was, but because of the aforementioned vastness, it takes some time to actually solve the puzzle, which makes going through the game feel really tedious. The physical/mental ratio needed to be worked on.

I think the game is fine for as long as it is; any longer and it might have just tired me out from having to move forward SO MUCH for what is ultimately a pretty simple puzzle. But I'm glad I got to experience it.

前几天打完《Recursive Ruin》才想起我库里还有这样一个游戏，同样是无限重复地图的3d解谜游戏，所以也是同样的晕3d+迷路（确信）

核心玩法大概是，嗯…你是一个没有膝盖的人所以没法跳跃（）唯一的移动方法是改变重力，而这会使你晕3d，但是在眩晕的时候你还得做一些把小方块们搬来搬去的谜题集（胡诌）

游戏的大部分场景都很有观赏性，并且内置了照相模式，有特别特别多滤镜之类的功能，甚至随便roll一下随机都很好康，截图爱好者狂喜。jpg 顺带一提这个照相模式甚至可以用来透视（！！）用来观察场景或者解隐藏路线都很好用！

正常流程大约5h左右，减去我是笨比所以四处迷路的时间可能会更短（）解谜难度倒是不高，难在理解规则，和迷路（再度）
但本作的特色也是真正令我惊叹的地方是，有一条可以避开大部分正常流程的隐藏路线，并且会碰到专属的隐藏谜题，几乎像是完全新内容的二周目！

（虽然我是抄作业跑的隐藏路线，因为我太笨了我想不出（诚实））（

首先，这游戏里面没有什么无法回头的地方，也没有什么阻挡方块穿过的门，虽然一周目正常流程完全跟着引导走就像是在解谜题集，但突然意识到这些特性后会发现——
原来这tmd是个开放世界解谜游戏（？？！）

一周目看见在各个角落藏着的莫名其妙的打不开的门或者奇怪的怼不进去的墙，或者是树上莫名其妙比解谜需求多出来的方块，其实都是隐藏路线的伏笔。而能够将方块自由地搬到其他谜题去，特别是将黑暗方块用在树以外的地方，就是通往隐藏路线的钥匙。
走隐藏路线就可以感受到整个世界虽然像是一个个箱庭式的关卡，但实际上都是通过隐藏的传送门相互连通的。除了这条隐藏路线外应该还有别的隐藏房间与隐藏的传送门，嗯…整个地图会是什么样我有些想象不出，我空间感太差了xd但无论如何这个设计太精彩了！

总之非常推荐一周目后来尝试走一下隐藏路线，这完完全全就是个二周目，真的很超值，你会获得另一个结局+剩下的成就+“哇噻这里居然是连通的”之类的接连不断的惊叹+++并且如果能自己解出来那绝对超级超级厉害（） （如果是像我一样的笨比，推荐参考steam社区里有一篇英文指南写得特别细特别好。jpg

A very unique exploration game disguised as a puzzle game. The main point of the game is to enjoy the infinitely extended geometry and abstract art. The simplicity of the presentation is brilliant and it gives the game its own identity. This is why I would strongly suggest all players to slowly enjoy the surroundings instead of speedrunning everything.

The puzzles involve you choosing any one of the six faces in 3D environment as the ground, which would affect both your accessible locations and mechanics of puzzle elements. The puzzles themselves are mostly simple, with a few exceptions where exits and required actions are not clearly presented and might require a walkthrough. The main storyline took me around 10 hours, and I know there are optional hidden stages created for those who want extra challenges.

Go watch some videos to get an idea how the presentation is, as that is the deciding factor whether you should consider the game. I bought the game at 50% off, but I personally enjoy the game a lot that I consider even at full price as great value.

Jorge Luis Borges + Brutalism + Art Déco + Antichamber + NaissanceE + Pagodas + Gardening Simulator = Manifold Garden = I Need to Take a Screenshot of This Place: The Game

The puzzles are nice, also.

10/10

Among all of the other reviews for this game, you will see a plethora of words expressing its absolution in presentation: stunning, gorgeous, mind-bending. Those qualities cannot be overstated. The puzzles are simple, but the laws of the Garden continually obscure their nature.

Once you get into a rhythm, you can easily speed-run, but I caution you against it. There will be times you will want to stop to take in the scenes. Stop for longer than you intend, and stop more often.

I found so much pleasure in stretching my perspective to see the bigger picture, embracing the infinite, especially at the times doing so helped me to solve the problem.

The journey alone would have made this a stellar review. The longer you enjoy the steps throughout, the more impactful your completion will be. Promise.

I have just finished the game at the time of writing this review. I think I am fairly seasoned with puzzle games, so if you have played a handful of them in your lifetime like I have, I would expect your play time to be around the same as mine.

This game is beautiful, challenging and exciting. My mouth was wide open for a majority of my playthrough due to how stunning and unique the landscapes and puzzles were. I absolutely adored the time I spent playing this and I wish I could go back in time to experience it for the first time again. This is an excellent game and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who enjoys great puzzle games.

I see this game as the spiritual successor to "Antichamber", which was one of my favorite games from 2014-ish. The art style is captivating and I often find myself thinking about enabling photo mode, which I absolutely never do in any game. I know I'm gushing here, but there are moments when I just stop to look at the screen.

The puzzles stop me at times, and I would expect most gamerz to have occasional difficulty. For comparison the puzzles in "The Witness" I found to be more challenging and much more numerous. The puzzles in this game seem more spread out - more spatial, as is fitting for the name.

Based on my progression through the achievements I think you should expect about 4 hours of gameplay here and that might seem short, but I believe it's a worthwhile and memorable experience for those seeking otherworldly vistas and mindbending realities.

路痴、晕3D噩梦（晕3d可以把旋转动画关掉，亲测会好很多）。
解谜不算难(指乱转转就能蒙出来），但是对于像我一样几何直观比较差的人很折磨 不过这恰恰是我玩这个游戏的原因（？）
一半的时间在找god cube，另一半时间在找god cube该放在哪。

多希望这游戏能peek，好几次失足跌落悬崖，在别的游戏里我会摔死，在这里我会一直坠落，配上穿越黑色的战争迷雾时诡异的音效，可以打上“心理恐怖”的标签。慌张地蹭上不规则的墙壁，周围的一切完全陌生，只不过是来时的路，这个世界每一次切换重力都需要被再认识，好。

理性的力量为混沌的世界带来美与秩序，上帝方块甚至能使周围的时空形变。但如此整齐归一的世界又仿佛使人毛骨悚然：你解救的每只鸟都是一样的。最后的“飞升”看完真是san值狂掉原地飞升，与其说是华丽的万花筒表演不如说是某个代表理性的更高存在存在在耀武扬威，（这还只不过是三维，mortal）。

WARNING: May cause headaches, vertigo, nausea, and confusion. I recommend waiting at least 30 minutes between finishing a meal and playing this game.

The game is awesome btw, the visual, sound, and puzzle design are wonderful. I'd highly recommend this game if you can handle the constant perspective changes and are interested in puzzle games.

本作......很有意思（我到底是第几次在评测里用这个词开头了）。

《Manifold Garden》（多重花园）最大的特点应该就是它的场景设计。它充满了各种不可能的建筑和结构，有些建筑会向空间中所有方向无穷复制、延伸，有些结构在三维空间中则是不可能实现得出来的（参考《Antichamber》这个游戏），但这些结构在游戏中就能被实现，从而给玩家，一个三维生物，一种绝不可能在现实中体会到的体验。如果你喜欢这样的东西，那买下这款游戏就肯定是很值的了。

除开看风景以外，本作还是一款第一人称解谜游戏。核心机制很有意思：玩家通过切换重力的方向，操纵受到不同方向重力的物体解谜。然而我必须得说，本作的解谜比我想象中要少很多很多，绝对不像《传送门》系列、《塔罗斯法则》这些游戏一样一步一个谜题，整个游戏下来，不仅总时长相对来说较短，而且其中解谜的部分其实也不是很多，难度也不高。所以，如果你想要那种有挑战性的解谜，那本作可能会让你失望。

不过经过对本作的体验后，我倒感觉解谜少并不是一件坏事。本作的一些谜题是像《传送门》一样，把玩家封在一个小空间里解决特定的问题，而另一些谜题则会和前面说到的，无穷延伸的场景和不可能的结构相融合。在后面这些谜题中，有时光是找到想找的东西（比如前往下一阶段的入口）都不简单，更别提在里面有效地思考了。所以游戏也没有在这时候刁难玩家，在巨大的场景中，有用的东西不会多，解谜思路也基本上是一条直线，试一试就出来了。然而就算只是这样，找到想找的东西和方向仍然不是很简单的，因此如果谜题还需要很努力地想，那这难度基本上就是劝退了。虽然我很喜欢解谜游戏，但我也不认为解决这种谜题是非常有趣的事情。

总的来说，我认为本作可能比起玩法，更注重一些艺术性的东西。我认为本作适合那些喜爱“埃舍尔式”艺术，想要放松身心，又不介意稍微动一动脑的玩家。

结论：推荐。

Autant vendre la mèche: "Manifold Garden" n'est pas aussi bon que "Antichamber".

D'habitude, je répugne à suggérer qu'un jeu ne serait qu'un simple plagiat (par exemple, pour moi "Cursed Castilla" est davantage qu'un clone de "Ghosts'n Goblins"), mais dans le cas de "Manifold Garden", son affiliation avec "Antichamber" est évidente et ne tourne pas à son avantage, même s'il a ses propres qualités.

Pour rappel, "Antichamber" est un jeu de puzzles et exploration à la première personne où un héros désincarné se déplace dans des décors monochromes stylisés qui ne fonctionnent pas selon les règles euclidiennes traditionnelles. Dans ces environnements déroutants inspirés du travail du célèbre graveur M.C. Escher, on ne trouvera aucun danger ni aucun ennemi ni quoi que ce soit de vivant d'ailleurs, mais des cubes colorés qu'il faudra apprendre à manipuler afin de progresser jusqu'à un final psychédélique digne de "2001, l'Odyssée de l'espace", qui nous amènera à nous demander si le propos du jeu n'est pas le tortueux cheminement d'une âme jusqu'à la mort.

Cette description de "Antichamber" est extrêmement précise, et pourtant, elle décrit tout autant "Manifold Garden", sorti presque sept ans plus tard. "Antichamber" est d'assez loin un des meilleurs jeux du genre et il n'a pas été détrôné depuis sa sortie, s'en inspirer fortement n'est donc pas un problème en soi - mais encore faut-il arriver à son niveau et parvenir à s'en distinguer...

Les principales qualités de "Antichamber" étaient les suivantes:

- Ses paradoxes étaient extrêmement variés, nous surprenant sans cesse.
- Son labyrinthe était très dense et non linéaire, avec beaucoup de parcours possibles.
- Malgré cela, on n'y était jamais perdu ou bloqué, l'action était très fluide.
- Même si certains puzzles étaient bien délimités, la plupart se combinaient organiquement.
- Ses puzzles étaient de qualité exceptionnelle, difficiles mais justes et astucieux.

Tous ces éléments se complétaient à la perfection alors qu'en théorie, les uns étaient censés beaucoup compliquer les autres: difficile d'avoir une progression fluide alors que le jeu est non linéaire, que les puzzles sont retors, et qu'il y a une grande variété de mécaniques. L'exploit est d'autant plus remarquable que le jeu est l'œuvre d'un unique auteur.

"Manifold Garden" compte une cinquantaine de noms à son générique, il repose sur une seule mécanique principale et très peu de mécaniques secondaires, il est linéaire, la plupart de ses puzzles sont délimités très nettement, et pourtant, sa progression est parfois rêche avec des passages confus, et ses puzzles sont tous plutôt faciles et peu imaginatifs voire quelconques, donnant l'impression d'être de simples alibis servant à justifier le voyage.

Ce sentiment "c'est le même jeu en moins bien" est renforcé par le fait que la mécanique maîtresse de "Manifold Garden" provient de "Antichamber": à la fin de "Antichamber", on erre en effet dans une zone bouclant sur elle-même à l'infini dans toutes les directions - ce qui est devant nous est également derrière nous, et on peut tomber dans le vide sans fin en croisant les mêmes structures encore et encore. Le concept est repris tel quel dans "Manifold Garden", tout le jeu repose dessus, tant sur le plan ludique qu'immersif ou artistique.

Dans "Antichamber", cette mise en boucle était cependant purement figurative, elle n'était pas vraiment utilisée ludiquement malgré son gros potentiel, donc la récupérer et décider d'en faire un jeu complet est tout à fait légitime. Pour la rendre praticable, d'autres mécaniques viennent la compléter: des portails dimensionnels (également présents dans "Antichamber") permettent de relier plusieurs espaces infinis de façon logique et naturelle, et on peut désormais basculer l'orientation de la gravité: si on fait face à un mur, y compris alors que l'on est en pleine chute (c'est important), la pression d'un bouton transformera ce mur en plancher. Évidemment, c'est particulièrement approprié à une architecture à la M.C. Escher où des ponts, des escaliers et des portes s'orientent dans tous les sens. À ce sujet, pour que ce basculement de gravité reste lisible, toutes les surfaces de "Manifold Garden" sont parallèles ou perpendiculaires, il n'y a pas de surface "en biais" - de plus, chacune des six "faces" de la gravité est associée à une couleur: bleu, rouge, vert, jaune, violet ou orange (presque celles du Rubik's Cube), le sol se teintant légèrement de la couleur correspondante après un basculement.

Les cubes que l'on peut manipuler suivent le même code couleur: chaque cube de "Manifold Garden" n'est en effet soumis qu'à une ou deux gravité(s) signalée(s) sur le cube par le code couleur et par des flèches gravées sur les côtés - dans toutes les autres gravités, le cube restera totalement immobile, quitte à flotter dans les airs. En plus de cela, les cubes présentent un angle gravé sur le dessus, qui permet de rediriger des sortes de cours d'eau - cette "eau" peut alimenter des moulins hydrauliques activant des machineries, ou faire pousser des "arbres" produisant d'autres cubes.

J'ai maintenant énuméré à peu près toutes les mécaniques du jeu, et comme je l'ai dit, si les puzzles qui en résultent sont bien faits et agréables, ils ne cassent pas trois pattes à un canard, l'intérêt de "Manifold Garden" est ailleurs...

En fait, "Manifold Garden" est d'abord et avant tout un jeu immersif et contemplatif, et il l'assume pleinement: le jeu est magnifique, représentant un travail artistique et architectural colossal. C'est en fait le seul plan sur lequel il apporte vraiment quelque chose par rapport à "Antichamber", et c'est loin d'être négligeable...

Tout en conservant un style sobre et cohérent, les décors du jeu alternent des environnements épurés et exigus rappelant les vieux graphismes des jeux d'aventure textuels des années 1980, d'immenses structures flottantes et abstraites qui se dupliquent à perte de vue à la façon du film "Tron", des salles dignes d'un happening d'art moderne, des rangées interminables de gratte-ciels cossus et vertigineux sans fondations ni toit, de somptueuses dentelles de hautes cathédrales en voxels, etc.

Toutes ces architectures se succèdent sans la moindre faute de goût, tirant systématiquement le meilleur parti de la mise en abyme propre au concept du jeu, et attirant d'autant plus notre attention que beaucoup de ces décors sont des décors de transition totalement dénués de puzzles, s'exhibant crânement pour eux-mêmes. Non seulement on prend bien le temps de les contempler, mais on s'amuse avec, se jetant volontiers dans le vide pour voir étage après étage après étage etc. nous passer devant avec un gros "SWOOSH" sonore répété encore et encore et encore. Comme on peut orienter la gravité comme on le souhaite, on ne se prive jamais de cette ivresse de la chute, un couloir infini pouvant devenir un puits infini à la simple pression d'un bouton. C'est ce plaisir immersif qui fait "Manifold Garden".

J'ai écrit dans ma critique de "Antichamber" que le jeu rappelait les rêves, mais cela venait davantage de la fluidité et de l'étrangeté de ses enchaînements que de ses univers, toujours très austères. "Manifold Garden" m'a lui aussi rappelé les rêves, mais dans le sens où j'y ai ressenti une impression de déjà-vu, comme si je connaissais déjà ces stupéfiants paysages pour les avoir parcourus lors de mes rêves. Très peu de jeux m'ont offert ce type d'intimité, il s'agit là d'une chose rare et précieuse. Et c'est cela qui, à mon avis, justifie l'existence de "Manifold Garden": il véhicule une émotion particulière, qui vaut le coup d'être vécue. Si cette balade vous tente, foncez. Si vous voulez un jeu de puzzles qui repose sur des mécaniques audacieuses et bien exploitées, il y a mieux ailleurs.

I have been falling....FOR 30 MINUTES!!!

谁tm再说不晕3D我就把这b游戏扔给他

Божественная игра.
∞+1 / 10

Ideally I would give this a neutral review.

First of all, this game is an outstanding technical achievement. You can tell it was a passion project and that a lot of love and time was put into it. The mind bending recursive environments are unlike anything I've ever seen implemented in a game. Great job to the developers.

But when viewed as a game and not an art object, I did not find it very compelling. The puzzles were pretty simplistic and repetitive, namely stacking cubes, using cubes to redirect water into a water wheel, or changing your orientation to move floating Tetris pieces. Another core part of the gameplay is just figuring out how to navigate the environment and figuring out where to go. This led to some frustrating moments where I was fighting against the game's orientation change mechanic rather than actually progressing the puzzles. Some puzzles could also be solved by just messing around and guessing, which didn't feel great.

Overall, I did not personally have fun while playing, despite being wowed by the game on a technical and visual level. Unfortunately for me, the actual puzzle solving gameplay itself fell flat.

Side note: This game was also giving me motion sickness, which has never happened to me before. What helped me was setting FOV to 60 and sitting as far away from the PC monitor as possible using a wireless controller.

Artistically, this game is nice. Pretty. These infinite wrapping space are fun to explore. Feels like you're going in circles inside a fractal.

But the puzzles are insultingly easy, kids level, really.
And the noneuclidean nature of levels is massively underutilized. It's literally just some portals here and there. Nothing too swingy-bendy-rotatey. Which is a great shame, because the potential for some really crazy levels that are hard to wrap your head around is here. I kept thinking "is the next level gonna be really crazy and difficult to navigate in?". And eventually the game just ended.

Gravity changing mechanics provide an unusual way to view the self-wrapping space from different angles, but once you grasp that it's all just 'rotating the world', navigation becomes totally easy, and the awe is lost.

Not once while playing this game I had a moment of 'gotcha', feeling like I understood the mechanics and became more powerful with this knowledge. Nah, it's pretty transparent from the early stages and doesn't offer much as you progress through the game.

I can recommend this game as a 3D art museum, but not as a puzzle, nor a challenge, nor a mystery.

色彩自夹缝中喷薄而出，心灵在维度中碰撞升华

无线延伸的维度与不断切换的重力带给我们的是难以言表的视觉震撼，几何与数学的美感充斥其中，与其说是游戏像美术，不如说是美术像游戏，灰白的配色及建筑风格借用其他评测的话来说：朝圣之旅。其中重力与维度的思考是这款游戏的重点， （在游戏结尾最震撼的不是万花筒般的画面，反而是一个正方体的降维过程，而结局的成就反而是“升维”，耐人寻味） 简单的线条勾勒出绝美的世界，单就画面而言便已值回票价

但是它的游戏性却在保持画面的同时出人意料地完善，比起某些只有画面没有玩法的游戏不知道高到哪里去了（没错我说的就是你The artful escape）重力改变的设定所衍生出来的一系列谜题及场景设计的相当不错，看似错综复杂实则简单明了，绝大多数场景就是一条线的解谜，无需引导，简单流畅而无违和感

但这样设计的缺点也很明显：很多隐藏全给我漏掉了。游玩过程中出自一个多年游戏玩家的直觉显然会到处瞎逛，但鉴于该作的地图重复性过高且过于庞大空洞，这样的搜寻绝大多数都没有结果，虽然也能找到几次隐藏但大多数时候一头雾水，极大地打击了我去寻找隐藏做成就的热情；另外解谜难度有点低，解谜基本都是找个起点找个终点中间绕个两圈没了；以及流程较短，高质量的艺术设计注定了它只能有小品级的流程，再美丽的艺术在不断重复后也只会厌倦

总地来说，这款游戏绝对是一部惊艳的作品（晕3d除外），更是一部无限的颂歌

我必须承认，我吐了，生物意义上的吐了，本以为玩惯吃鸡类型和VR游戏的我可以为所欲为，没想到我还是败了，如果你想挑战不吐，那么墙裂推荐好吧，好了不说又想吐了，先去吐一会~~~~~~~

Runs very smooth with no issues on Linux with Proton.

Very pretty and smart puzzler.

As others mention, it's a beautiful game. A word I'd like to add to this is terrific. As in, it begets terror. Some rooms or architecture give a certain Lovecraftian vibe, which gives the feeling of terror and/or insignificance. Keep in mind, there are no monsters or scary things in the game. It's as pretty and colorful as the trailers show.

If you love (mind-bending) puzzles, this is a must-have. Highly recommended!

10/10, unless you fear heights. Fortunately there's no fall damage.

Manifold Garden is visually stunning first-person puzzle game with simple ideas that come together to form some really interesting puzzles. The game is estimated to take about 6 hours, and that number seems about right. I am about 3 hours in and have about half of the achievements. (EDIT: Game completed after about 7.5 hours of play. A couple of puzzles really had me confused for a long time.)

The game mechanics are really neat but not hard to understand. You get to change the gravitational orientation and the world is infinitely linked. Because of this, you will be falling down to the tops of buildings, seeing water flowing in odd direction, and walking on sideways oriented stairs that will still get you where you need to go.

Undoubtedly, this game will pull your mind to the works of M. C. Escher. I also thought of the short stories The Library of Babel as well as The Garden of Branching Paths by Jorge Luis Borges. The visual and mental aesthetics within the game's vastly interconnected world of actually a finite space tread on the sublime.

There is no story. Playing on, you can definitely fashion one in your mind as you clear the first sets of puzzles and come to terms with the world and in general, what you have to do. The game does not need a story either.

The puzzles are not hard to figure out, but there are some different things you have to consider while doing them. Primarily you will be focusing on the gravitational shift as you change. By stumbling around a bit and getting completely disoriented, you will often stumble across the answers. There are some visually tricky situations as well. Once again, the puzzles are neat and fun, but not too hard.

Anyway, I hope that everyone who is not fearful of heights can experience this game. For those people, this could be a potential trigger, and I would not want to have a game set off a panic attack. There's no time limits on the puzzles, you can move around as much as you need to figure things out. There's such pleasing visuals and music accompanying the game that it's worthwhile for almost everyone to take a look.

Works well with Keyboard + Mouse. Controller also works fine. I used KB+M for this game.

Absolutely stunning. If you look at the trailer, you will see right away why the game is so difficult for the mind to accept, because are are used to a different set of rules in the world. I will include a few screenshots here as well.

The soundtrack sounds really good. The sound effects are nice too. There are places when you move from one room to the next that the music abruptly cuts out without a smooth transition. This is the only bad thing I noticed about the music.

I have already stated, the game may cause problems for people who fear heights. Aside from that, I do not do well with games in first-person perspective, because I get nauseated and often an accompanying headache. This game did that for me as well, but I kept on restarting to try to tackle it a bit farther as soon as I could rest a little and feel better. It was pulling on me that much to keep going.

Base price is $19.99, the launch sale has a 20% discount. Even though the game may be shorter than most for the price in general, it's worth your time and your money.

Manifold Garden treads on sublime, on the part of my mind that can do nothing but drop my jaws in wonder.

10/10, unless you fear heights. Fortunately there's no fall damage.

I received the product for free. I did not receive any compensation to write this review. The opinions represented here are entirely my own and were not influenced in any way.

I want to like this game. It has an amazing atmosphere and it does really cool things with (seemingly-) infinite spaces. But solutions to some of the puzzles are....well, frustratingly abstract. Either that, or I'm just an idiot, which is possible...but I left several puzzles feeling like the game was doing a horrible job of conveying information to me. It doesn't tell you anything besides basic controls. For some people, this will be a good thing, because you're left to figure it all out. But when so much of it seems to have its own logic, and you can bang your head against a wall for an hour when the solution is just something you had no way of knowing yet....idk, maybe I'm just dumb

I am going to beat myself to death

Pretty short, but an amazing experience - Think the visuals of Antichamber with the Puzzles of Portal. The music really ties together the trippy vibe of the game.

刚开始玩的我：害，重力解密是吧，太老套了
十分钟之后的我：惊了，艺术品

Good visual puzzle . Thoughts of "this would be great in VR" are easily replaced with "I would throw up if this was in VR"

Sincere thank you to the devs for making a game that is so unique, beautiful, and intuitive. Manifold Garden is easily one of the most enjoyable gaming experiences I have had. The game doesn't hold your hand, and yet it strikes the perfect balance by being rewarding but not frustrating or excessively confusing. The game takes a compelling concept and completely delivers on it.

Not to mention it has an incredible soundtrack by Laryssa Okada that perfectly matches the game's aesthetic. Can't recommend Manifold Garden enough.

A simple, clever, jaw dropping work of art. I hate it. Can't stop exploring its space. Can't believe it's a real game. I hate it. There are moments when you come across a work of creativity, technical skill, and wit, that makes you ask, "What is the point of creating anything after this?" This is one of those moments. I hate it.

何其有幸，我的眼睛见证了如此精妙绝伦的艺术；任何语言的描述都或多或少显得苍白，虽然可能玩起来没什么游戏性上的体验，但只有切身体会过才会倾心于那份美妙的宁静。

玩了5个小时以后：游戏性极佳！（指每次开完门就爽到天灵盖了）坏处是晚上做梦老是梦到自己在各种坠落_(:з」∠)_
第一次普通通关11小时，太舍不得了（虽然有时候会玩着玩着睡着……）。这个游戏真的超出了“游戏”的含义和意义，每次进来就像在精神世界的花园中徜徉，从一开始找到窍门的欣喜到后面宁愿多跑跑看看也不想离开的不舍，它给了我许多现实世界难以寻求的美好体验，像一个美妙的梦。和结局成就说得一样，这是一场飞升。
在一次旖旎绚烂的睡梦醒来后还是选择把它通关了，还好有隐藏成就和隐藏路线以后可以多多探索。
就像一个华丽又温馨的港湾，无限宫院就在这儿静候着我。

Outstanding Epic Games timed exclusive puzzle/exploration game, 10/10 for me!

This game is Antichamber meets NaissanceE, with bits of Etherborn and TRI.

...and after completing the game (or rather, the main portion of it), I can say the sense of wonder has never left me. Years of playing Portal 2 meant that I was never disoriented by a puzzle, and in fact I was able to finish the game in around 4-5 hours.

Update 11/2020: This game gets my nomination for the Sit Back and Relax award.
Also: first!

最开始就觉得这个游戏的设计很巧妙，但是由于不经意间把一块方块扔到了空中，看着它在我身边不断循环循环地落下，觉得很难受...感觉自己陷入了一个循环，怎么也出不去、挣不开，再加上恐高，每次踏空都会心跳加速。我觉得很恐怖，由此搁置了一段时间不敢打开。
前几天克服了一下重新打开，把蓝色关卡过了，我只能说真的太牛了这个游戏，目瞪口呆...这真是艺术...
玩这个不要看攻略吧...自己慢慢摸索后的成就感与震撼是看攻略带不来的

一人称視点の3D空間パズル。影響元は完全にPortalシリーズやAntichamberなど。

空間が無限複製されていて、かつ重力を3次元正負6方向に自由に切り替えられることを利用し、複製空間の間を飛び移ることができるのが特徴といえば特徴だが、意外とそのことがパズルの難しさや多様性につながっていないのが残念だった。
全7ステージで、それぞれ細かなチェックポイントからなる構成なのだが、探索要素は乏しくほぼ一本道。空間の広さや自由度の割に、材料をすべて見つけることができれば解法が明らかなパズルが多く、半分くらいで飽きる。特別難しいとか、ひらめきが必要だと感じたのは1,2箇所で、あとは考えるというより空間の中で次の材料や目標地点がどこなのか探している時間がほとんどだった。のっぺりとした無限複製の3D空間は見た目の変化にも乏しく、もう1ステージあったら確実に投げていた。

難易度自体は、多分空間の広さや重力の自由度に合わせて難しくなりすぎないよう気を使って調整した結果なのではないかと思われ、苦労が偲ばれる。
音楽や映像効果はサイケデリックな感じで、一見かっこいいのだが個人的にはあまり惹きつけられず。ストーリーと言えるものも特にない。
隠し要素がいくつかと、通常解法以外に難解法が用意されているらしく、アチーブを埋めるためには必要。だがそのために再訪したいと思わせる魅力には乏しい。

値段は安く、まとまってはいて、悪くはないんだけど、あんまり心に残らない。このジャンルだいぶ飽和している中で、野心作というよりは過去作オマージュが主眼の内輪向けな作品なのかも。
「なんかスゴイ」「心に残る」作品を探しているならおすすめできない。パズルゲーム好きでこのジャンルの作品に親しんでいるなら他作品の影がチラついてしまうだろう。3D映像表現の参考にはなるのかもしれない…

Одна из лучших игр-головоломок ever. Подробнее - в видео

I was kinda afraid to even start this game but I'm also fascinated by endless geometric patterns so I had to try no matter how confusing it will be.

Game starts easily inside with gravity shuffle puzzle mechanics which reminds Portal games. True mindblowing experience begins "outside" when you look and see infinity. Well it's more like endlessly repeating architecture which gives feeling of infinity but it worked on me as I experienced moments of sacred awe everytime new colossal architectonic piece was unfold before my eyes. Yeah game looks amazing, it's mostly just simple geometry but there is a beauty in simplicity. Also I have to mention awesome soundtrack which makes some moments even more memorable and thus adding another dimension to this game.

So game is mostly about solving puzzles by using gravity shuffle mechanics and repeated geometry which gives you new traverse options. I guess it's not so hard if you are used to puzzle games but with adding confusing element of repeating architecture you can easily lost sense of where the hell are you. Game doesn't really have a story so it's only about wandering, solving puzzles and experiencing this strange world.

Conclusion: 9 / 10: William Chyr made fun game while showing us infinite beauty in math and architecture.

This game is super gorgeous but I do not recommend playing it while intoxicated or baked, it will give you vertigo and nausea just as fast as your first time in VR.

Made me feel like I was in a Tool music video 10/10.

On a serious note. Nothing too difficult, but amazing atmosphere and concept. A bit short for the price, but for me it was totally worth it

对抗老年痴呆的办法增加了！！
这美工真的太牛逼了，我真的形容不出来它有多牛逼，总之就很想一拳打进他妈逼里那种牛逼。
而且非常的烧脑，我觉着我需要休息一会以后再考虑打开这游戏了…

这是1GB的游戏？

this garden is folded, man

典型的な雰囲気ゲーです。
「Antichamber」や「NaissanceE」みたいな雰囲気が好きな人はハマると思います。

重力の向きを変え、移動できる場所を模索したりギミックを解いていくゲームになります。
他の方も書いてますが、パズルの難易度は雰囲気を十分に楽しめる、しかし簡単すぎない絶妙な難易度になってます。（自分には丁度よい難易度でした）

ただ前述の通り、壁が床になったり天井になったりと空間をグルグル回す必要があるので、3D酔いをしない人じゃないとプレイは厳しいと思います。

また、ゲーム中は文字を一切使われておらず、操作やギミックの仕様を直感的に理解する必要があります。

個人的には記憶を消してもう一度プレイしたいですね。

玩这个游戏，能用摔，到的地方，绝对不用走

don't play while drunk

actually maybe do

make sure you have a bucket nearby if you do

It is not a bad game, but an underwhelming one.


The art is gorgeous in concept, but all the levels across the 6 game worlds look extremely similar and almost impossible to tell apart from each other. There are no distinct colors, or architectural details that would help you understand where you are in the overall game - just blank outlined walls and white void all around. The world ends up feeling dead and sterile. And the few visually interesting levels don't even have puzzles them.


The puzzles themselves are too easy, with hardly and ramp up in difficulty, and only a handful giving me that "a-ha!" moment when the solution is found. But even more disappointing: they don't feel like they are part of this world or utilize it in any meaningful way. It's just cubes and rivers all the way though, plonked on top of pre-made structures as almost and afterthought. Compared to how organically other similar games integrate their puzzles: Witness, Portal, Superliminal, Naissance etc. - Manifold Garden falls short.

my brain isn't braining

I wish there were many more games like this! A feast for the eyes, and a workout for the mind. What a great exploration of dimension and space, in such a dream-like manner. Highly recommended!!

I would not recommend taking any hallucinatory drugs while playing this game

If MC Escher & Stanley Kubrick were dug up, Frankensteined together, & electrified back into coherence to create a puzzle game, this would be the result. Gorgeous spatial reasoning couched in (re)creation.

A short delight, visually unique & striking with just enough oomph in its puzzles to keep you hooked.

Due to the core mechanics, movement is sometimes a bit slow or fiddly. Getting lost is, both literally and figuratively, a near certainty.

The world- and sound design creates a surreal landscape that stays novel throughout.

As a puzzle game, it's decent. As a puzzle experience, it's breathtaking.

Замечательная головоломка! Занимает почетное место рядом с The talos principle, визуалом и порталами сильно напоминает antichamber, но разработчик вроде другой. Всем крайне рекомендую, проходится за 5-7 часов, точно стоит своих денег и доставит массу удовольствия)
а прохождение без установки кубов бога еще и заставит крепко призадуматься)
и да, спасибо ДТФ, что узнал об этой игре из чьего-то обзора на нее)

i loved this game! i enjoy puzzle games but i'm not the smartest at them, and i usually have to cheat a little to get to the end. i didn't need to cheat for this game, which made me feel super smart. i recommend

我这辈子大概都找不到能媲美的游戏了

I think I spend as much time in this game admiring the environment as I did solving the puzzles. Really well-made game with a beautiful geometric world.

İnsana kafayı yedirten bulmaca oyunlarının son halkası :)

Antichamber, Superliminal, Baba is You... Hemen hemen her yıl bir tane zekâ seviyemizden ciddi şekilde şüphe etmemize neden olan, çılgın bit bulmaca oyunu çıkar oldu artık karşımıza. Manifold Garden da bu saydığım isimlerden hiç mi hiç geri kalmıyor.

Ünlü ressam M.C. Escher'in geometrik tablolarından esinlenen oyunda yerçekiminin yönünü değiştirip duvarlarda veya tavanda yürüyor, uçsuz bucaksız gibi görünen yerlerden aşağı atlayıp başladığımız yere geri dönüyor ve gerçeküstü bir mimariyle tasarlanmış mekânlarda yolumuzu bulmaya çalışıyoruz.

Oyun kendisini sürekli geliştiriyor. İlk başta doğru renkli kutuları doğru yerde kullanarak kapıları açıyoruz. Sonra suların yönünü değiştiriyoruz, devasa bilyeleri oradan oraya yuvarlıyoruz, değirmenleri çalıştırıyoruz, Tetris benzeri dev blokları hareket ettirerek kendimize yol açıyoruz, en alt kattan boşluğa atlayıp aynı binanın çatısına iniyoruz... diye gidiyor.

Ve tabii ki bol bol kafamızı duvarlara vuruyoruz :) Türü sevenler kaçırmasın. 8/10

四个字：叹为观止！
这款游戏给我的视觉和听觉反馈很棒，走在玻璃上甚至还会随着你的脚步发出音乐声。
完成世界时的动画很震撼。
无限掉落的感觉超爽！但恐高症慎入。
晕3D的慎入，你可能会吐。。
蓝色关卡激活一个颜色的激光束差不多要5—10分钟左右。
红色关卡只有一个激光束，用了差不多40分钟左右。
后面我还没玩，总的来说，这款游戏真的出乎我的意料，推荐！

3.8/5 - Amazing but lacking

Manifold Garden is a unique experience within the puzzle genre. Infinite worlds inspired by the drawing style of Escher, along with a beautiful ambiance created by the sounds and music, form the perfect recipe for a gripping experience. Unfortunately, the complexity of the puzzles and the length of the game leaves something to be desired.

i guess the real Manifold garden was inside of us all along

Manifold Garden / 多重花园 / 曼尼福德花园 /无限宫院一款解密游戏于10月21日登上了Steam平台，游戏主打着出色又富有艺术感的画面设计，多维度多重力的空间解密设计，和一群在评论区说简单的爱好者...（解密苦手 雾...

当别人都说3-6小时可以全通的时候，我看了一下本人的游戏时间-24.7...我默默的想了一下人和人的体质不能一概而论，可能别人的脑子有着3900x的处理器，50t的知识储备，而我只是一个简单弱小又不自知的草履虫。

当然过长的时间是因为我卡在了一关很久，游戏全程没用引导性的文字和提示，线性的出房间，其实就是逐步的提升谜题难度，通过简单到复杂的谜题达到一个解题思路教学。从一开始告诉玩家可以跨空间抵达不同重力面的时候，引导就从显像到隐藏了。可这并不妨碍，我不知道一颗树上的多个立方体，是可以相互独立存在的！我竟然因为一个台阶够不着而苦手卡住了几个小时，玩一下休息一下...然后看了通过的视频才发现，原来可以拿2个！害~这种情况卡住我的比比皆是，我果然是个呆b。

游戏在我卡关的时候，我就会去外面房间的平台上站着，看一看点线面世界构成的艺术感，不得一说这游戏在画面上十分用心了，极简单的方块与色块叠加，有一辆颗树，有一点点会发光的塔，纵深感无限的空间，一点点音乐...就很“禅“我也觉得自己某一种程度上也很”残“仿佛有种硬伤...最大的伤害是，一个好友看我玩了3-4小时跑来问我好玩么，我说你可以先购买试试，2小时不好玩可以退款嘛...他下载好了，玩了20分钟，和我说确实要退款，不太好玩，太简单了...

我默默的看了一眼他的成就，当时我是2个，他是4个...呵，真就20分钟赶超3小时。所以在后续我就算了解到可以找方法进入隐藏关，也不进去了。我连最简单的主线都在卡关，我不配我不配。

在写这些时，我好奇跑去这款游戏的官网看了一下，平平无奇的网页隐藏着一个小循环，让游戏无限纵深掉落循环在官网上得以体现。在侧滑动条抵达最末尾的时候会循环会顶端网页页面。玩这游戏时，我更多感受的是重力面改变的玩法，有点像PS4上“重力眩晕少女”也是一款改便重力面的玩法，不过她是偏ARPG罢了，而Manifold Garden则是解密向游戏。

至于莫里茨·科内利斯·埃舍尔的风格体现，个人感觉并不算太多，纵深无限的掉落循环到建筑这段设计有点那个味，但实际上不是。埃舍尔的解密，我只会想到PSP上的无限回廊1/2，这款更加简单的线条游戏，他通过不同角度的视觉错误形成全新的谜题，所以这游戏并不”埃舍尔“。

最末置位的时候吐槽一下，这游戏解密大佬们上手都会说简单，唯一不好点的可能就是在视角翻转中容易引发3D眩晕，毕竟是第一人称视角游戏，而在不同重力面表达颜色的不同也局限了游戏画面的更多色彩组合，所以略微单一点，不过也许正是这个单一才让我这个眩晕患者没有太多的感觉不适。至于解密苦手们，这游戏的难度主线和隐藏线都可以挑战试一试，大不了休息一阵再来一次烧脑，因为解开一个难点的快乐确实有一点上瘾~

Is this a beautiful game with a great sound track and interesting puzzles? Absolutely! And, if you are a 'physics puzzler' who likes the idea of a larger-than-life Rubik's Cube, then this game is for you! It looks like a wonderful game that I just can't get my head around. I think the concept is one that you either embrace and love or fight until you scream in frustration. Evidently, I fall into the latter category.
It started out great for me. Once I got over my initial sense of motion sickness, I got through the' blue world' section and was feeling pretty good about my skills. Then, I ended up on a multi-layered structure with a ball rolling down seemingly infinite tubes activated by blocks of different colors. After several hours, I have not achieved anything but an exercise in free-fall and total confusion. I can't tell if I am making progress or not and each time I fall, I land with no sense of where I was previously. In short, I don't think my brain works on this level.
I love puzzles but the games I like tend to obey the laws of gravity (The Witness, The Talos Principle, The Turing Test, Escape Games). When gravity goes out the window and up is down and right is left, I am unable to reason my way out of the cube.
SO... I would recommend this game ONLY if you are one of those 'spatial' people who enjoys turning the world upside down, falling through infinite space, and watching a very imaginative world unfold. If you are like me (one of the more 'logical' or 'conceptual' problem solvers), then Manifold Garden is apt to be an experience that is high on head-banging and low on fun.

An added note - after taking some time off, I returned to Manifold Garden and, after 10+ hours, am beginning to get the gist of the game. It is a struggle for me but there is something oddly satisfying when I complete an area and am treated to a short (albeit virtual) psychedelic trip!

A final comment - I drank the Kool-Aid and played through to get 100% of the achievements. The final 'optional' section was very tricky but there is a great feeling of accomplishment having succeeded in spite of my own limitations.

幾何学的で壮大な世界観、静謐ながらも厳かなBGMが醸し出す雰囲気はとてもマッチしている。
パズル要素も、本作の特徴の重力操作とループを使っていたりと、それなりに楽しめる。
しかし、その二つが合わさった結果、非常にストレスを感じる作りとなってしまった印象。

前半は箱庭のようなエリアが多いのと目新しい世界観のため純粋に楽しめたが、
後半に進むにつれエリアが広大になり、ギミック一つを解くために長距離移動を強いられるため、楽しさより飽きを強く意識させられてしまった。
エリアは広大・複雑化する一方でギミックは単純なままのため、思考より探索にリソースを割かれていくのも飽きが早くなる要因の一つ。
広けたエリアに到達するたびにため息が出始めた時点で、自分には向いてなかったのだろう。
ギミック自体も、重力操作とループ世界を利用した最低限の要件は満たしているが、特段目新しいものでもない。

プレイ時間基準で、単純なクリアまでのボリュームは少し割高に感じるが、作者が世界観の構築に心血を注いだのは痛いほど理解できたので、そこはあまり気にはならなかったかな。
あと、エリアを跨いだ裏ルートの存在はやり込みがいがあって良いと思う。私は再訪する気力がなく断念してしまったが。

あくまでパズル要素を重視したため厳しめの評価となってしまったが、
パズルはおまけ程度で「独特の世界観を堪能したい！」という方なら一考の価値ありかもしれない。
ただ、パズルゲーム目当てで手を出すのはオススメしない。

An amazing puzzle game. It incorporates many of the "recent" trends: portals, non-euclidean spaces, fractal structures, variable gravity. However, it does it with excellence, so the end result is coherent and achieves more than each part would. The author also does experimental sculpture, and it shows: this game is what contemporary interactive art is trying to emulate, without even knowing it.

A unique thing is that every puzzle is about building intuition of the weird spaces the game puts you into. Unlike, say, Portal, where late game puzzles rely on complicated setups and mechanical execution, even the hardest Manifold Garden puzzles have relatively few moving pieces, and usually don't even include every mechanic. That means you will never feel overwhelmed, and the puzzle solutions are satisfying.

我就像库珀发现自己身处一个非线性流动的第五维度超正方体，超越了时空并在进化到较高文明的生物创造的四维超正方体和虫洞中。老子就是洛兰在星际穿越。

Stunning but should come with a motion sickness warning.

PROS:
+ Visually pleasing
+ Great soundtrack
+ A few new funky ideas
+ Fun while it lasted
+ No bugs, crashes or glitching

♥♥♥♥:
- Very short, my playthrough took only 7 hours which included me snooping every corner, admiring every view and leaving my game running while doing chores. You could easily complete this in four hours or so. I'd consider waiting for a sale to get most bang for the buck
- Way too much walking, distances between puzzles are super long which I guess is to admire the graphics or make the game seem a little longer, but it gets very boring very fast
- Way too much pushing buttons to open doors. Why do I need to rotate myself around four dimensions every time I need to get through one single door that has nothing to do with any of the puzzles?
- Sometimes it was difficult to differentiate whether some structure was just a repeating pattern or if I was actually going somewhere. There are a lot of stairs to climb, some of them take you places, some of them don't
- Lots of colourful, fast changing visual stimulus so this might be too much for anyone suffering from migranes or epilepsy

Few other things to consider:
There is no story, like literally nothing. I think no story is better than a bad one, but I myself wanted at least some form of narrative to keep me interested. Also, if you're familiar with puzzle games in general, this game isn't going to be very challenging for you. Most of the puzzle mechanics involve placing cubes to unlock doors, so nothing too groundbreaking. All in all, this was an okay puzzle game, reminded me a lot of Lightroom in a sense that it offered a new twist to some good old puzzle mechanics. Manifold garden was fun to play but I'd recommend waiting for a sale.

Hodně zajímavá hra, ve které mi hlavu zamotaly spíše než hádanky jednotlivé scenérie, které se roztahují do nekonečna a svou podivnou, neeuklidovskou geometrií vytvářela v mé hlavě guláš protichůdných myšlenek a podnětů, se kterými se přece jen hůře pracovalo. Celá ta cizost prostředí, nelogická vystavěnost budov a plošinek, které popíraly realitu a fyzikální zákony, byla doplněna mým strachem z výšek, kdy člověk velmi často musí padat nekonečnou propastí, jen aby si prohlédl okolí a dokázal určit, kam jít dále v tomhle snovém světě. Přiznám se, že se mi několikrát zatočila hlava z toho všeho a udělalo se mi i nevolno. Přece jen když se podíváte dolů a tam zeje prázdnota, do které ale musíte skočit, i ti troufalejší najednou poblednou ve tváři. Právě tahle neomezenost prostoru, kdy se jednotlivé plošinky opakují dokolečka, zatímco váš pád na bezedné dno je nekonečný, vytváří společně se speciální geometrií zajímavý a neotřelý mix, který ve vás bude rezonovat i po dohrání. Budete se snažit přátelům popsat, že když jste šli nahoru do schodů a otočili jste se, tak jste šli vlastně dolů. Že to, co jste viděli u sebe, bylo zkopírováno mnohonásobně i o něco dál a vy jste viděli sami sebe. Že nahoře je vlastně dole a že strany zde neexistují, protože to, co naleznete po své levici, je lehce dosažitelné i po vaší pravici. Prostor najednou nedává smysl a pochybnosti zaplňující vaši nechápavou mysl začínají dosahovat vrcholu. U téhle hry se musí prostě přemýšlet jinak, což byla rozhodně největší překážka. Hádanky, které čerpají právě z ohýbání prostoru, nebyly zas tak těžké nebo složité, ale právě spíše orientace v okolí a nalezení všech dílků skládačky bylo to, co bylo na pořadu dne. Co se týče hádanek, většinou jsou celkem prosté. Musíte umístit barevnou krychli na odpovídající plošinku. Časem se k tomu přidají řeky a portály a pár dalších věcí, nikdy mi ale nepřišlo, že by se jednalo o nepřekonatelný problém. Nejtěžší prostě bylo si zvyknout na ojedinělost prostředí, kdy můžete (a musíte) měnit gravitaci. Strop se náhle mění v zem pod vašima nohama, kostky, se kterými dříve nešlo ani hnout, se najednou můžou přenášet a vy se můžete dostat na dříve zapovězená místa. Ve hře naštěstí nelze zemřít, což je rozhodně vítaným plusem, tudíž lze i experimentovat. Ze začátku jsem si myslel, že hra nebude lineární, bohužel prvotní dojem byl velmi rychle nahrazen vystřízlivěním. Zatímco počáteční lokace vám nabídne tři různé budovy s hádankami, které můžete vyřešit v libovolném pořadí, poté se jedná o extrémně lineární jízdu. Na jednu stranu je to škoda, na druhou ale hratelnost nešla řešit jinak, protože obtížnost hádanek neustále narůstá, jak jsou představovány nové herní prvky. Ty jsou vždy ukázány na lehce pochopitelném vzoru, díky kterému si uvědomíte, na jakém principu fungují. Jedinou mírou frustrace tak pro mě byla orientace v prostoru, protože člověk občas netušil, kam jít nebo kde co dělat.

Grafika je minimalistická, ale dostačující a má takové zvláštní kouzlo, kdy svou stylizací krásně doplňuje estetiku hry. Zvuky a hudba jsou na vysoké úrovni, hlavně odemykání dveří vydává takové zvláštně uspokojující lupnutí. Hru jsem dohrál za pět a půl hodiny, což bylo dáno hlavně tím, že jsem minimálně zpočátku netušil, jak řešit i ty nejprimitivnější hádanky a v druhé půlce jsem se zase solidně ztrácel v prostředí. Takže pokud jste schopnější než já, můžete mít dohráno i za nějaké čtyři hodinky. Hra má i druhý konec, kterého lze dosáhnout za jistých podmínek, které ale vyžadují ohýbání daných pravidel (jedná se o nepoužívání tzv. božských kostek). Hru rozhodně doporučuji a to nejen fanouškům logických her, ale také lidem, kteří mají rádi dechberoucí scenérie. Protože těch je tu až až.

This is like if Glados tripped on acid while staring at MC Escher and had to design test courses for Dr. Strange

The overwhelming feeling of infinite majesty.
The joy of complicated yet interesting puzzles.
And the destroyed semicircular canals.


무한한 세계의 장엄함이 주는 압도감
복잡하지만 흥미로운 퍼즐의 희열감
그리고 파괴되는 반고리관
정신 나갈 것 같아

Important edit: I'm doing a second run to get "The Game Is Not Enough" achievement, and let me tell you. If you're looking for a challenge, try to find the hidden paths. It's MADNESS.

For me, Manifold Garden picks up where Antichamber left off, since they share some visual similiarities, and expands upon its concept without being as complex difficulty-wise.

Extremely immersive, this game lets you experience gravity and infinite spaces while being linear. Thanks to its structure, it allows for an unusual gameplay loop centered into falling (more on that later).

I purposely mentioned Antichamber as it's an easier way for me to explain to you what this game wants to offer. And, in fact, they are in the same area... except they're not.
While the first one focuses more on mind-bending puzzles and different challenges given by its non-euclidean environment, Manifold Garden simply lets you get into the flow of infinity and perspective.

As a result, puzzles are not as hard as you would expect from an Antichamber section, but they're not the easiest out there either. It finds a good mix between having to think about how to place certain blocks in certain ways and really relaxing moments.

In fact, you'll find yourself enjoying a free dive into this game's space more than once, since it's so well crafted that it just makes you wonder how it's possible to think such structures.

There are almost no tutorials on what you have to do, except for a brief overhaul on commands when you boot it up for the first time. You basically hit space when facing, for example, a wall to change your gravitational pull. A visual cue will inform you which axis you're currently on, and that'll become more and more important as more puzzles are put in front of you.

Your supposed goal is to restore this mysterious and abstract garden. And you will do so by solving this linear sequence of puzzles where you get to experiment with different colored blocks, each representing a certain axis.

As I've said before, this game is not the hardest puzzle game out there, but still manages to let you think about what you're doing and how to place things. There have been a couple of times where I've got stuck, mainly near the end, because I wasn't paying the right amount of attention to my environment. And that's all there is to it: while not being hard as Antichamber, Manifold Garden rewards you for your attention to detail.

Other than that, difficulty increases as you move forward, combining different puzzle elements which will not be mind bending, though.

Look closely and analyze your environment and you'll beat the game in approximately 6 hours without having much difficulties.

And thus one of the greatest gameplay loops was invented: falling. I'm not joking, in this game you'll find yourself falling into infinity many, many times as you travel through the sometimes vast puzzle areas in order to get things straight.
And I must say that, while simple on paper, it feels innovative and creates a distinct experience.

It feels really good because the environments are so pleasant to see that sometimes you'll end up falling just to admire everything. Kudos to the designers.

One of the things which reminded me of Antichamber was the sound of birds. Really distinctive, it threw me back to when I first played it. To this day, I still think it's one of the best puzzle games out there. And I'm happy to see some resemblances here, as it allows for a focused ambiance and distinctive feel.

Music and musical cues are also spot on, changing whether you're falling close to an edge or walking on a frozen water flow. There are many little musical inputs which are really satisfying: I encourage you to listen closely while playing. You'll notice many things.

... let me just say that we need games like this. There's something so fascinating about infinity, impossible architecture and the feeling of a massive scale in a tight place. Manifold Garden sends its message pretty clearly, and if you like artistically pleasing experiences, this is a must have, just like Superliminal.

If you're here to challenge yourself through hard puzzle solving, I'm afraid you'll be somewhat disappointed. But I would still give this a try, since it's a technical masterpiece!

This is the indie equivalent of a AAA game with nice skyboxes but nothing else going on. The endlessly repeating worlds are nice to look at but they barely serve a gameplay function, mainly you just jump off buildings to get on the roof and that's it.

Most puzzles in the game are trivial. The hardest are the first couple since you don't know yet how the rules work but after that the game keeps just repeating the same solutions over and over again. The game teases you with metroidvania looking crossroads that you keep coming back to but they are just kind of there and don't do anything. You always just have to solve another world first to get the last cube you need to finish the other crossroad. The game is just way to linear for anything interesting to happen.

In fact there is very little reason to explore this strange beautiful looking world. The only thing you are gonna find is one map room. That is it. There are no secrets, eastereggs, lore, whatever. There is literally nothing. The only thing you have to care about are irregularities in the infinite repeating world because those are puzzleboxes you need to find.

If you compare it to something like Anti-Chamber (which clearly is what inspired this) then it is just a shallow experience. I mean, one of the last achievements in the game is "tree evoultion" where you learn how to create 2 side gravity boxes. Except it is scripted to happen which means you had no way of ever doing that before this point anyway. If you had more freedom in placing stuff in this game then you could have organically discovered this mechanic. But you can't and wont.

Also the game crashed a couple of times when I tried to save. I never lost progress, I think. But still.

If you want to play a game that actually uses its mechanics for challenging gameplay I will recommend "Recursed" instead. Or "Patrick's ParaBox" although that's not out yet, but there is a demo.

КАТЕГОРИЧЕСКИ РЕКОМЕНДУЮ всем любителям головоломок - квестов. Уникального рода игра, ничего подобного я раньше не видел. С одной стороны, по классике, здесь кубы разных цветов, отражение и направление луча в нужное место (здесь это вода), однако, подается это невероятно впечатляющим образом. Нам предстоит переворачивать все пространство полностью, взаимодействуя с ключевыми предметами на локации. Короче, про постоянную гравитацию забудьте. При этом, локация зациклена в пространстве. И все это в минималистичном стиле, этакая географическая иллюзия выходит. Потрясающий проект.

虽然美术、谜题设计、音乐很有创意很出彩
但是真的，它，太，晕，了！！！！！！

超好玩!我吐了十五次!

Si les gustó Antichamber o Portal, les gustará este juego.

3D 멀미 있는 사람은 피하는게 좋습니다

头好痛，是要长出脑子了吗。

I don't know what was happening but it was really pretty

멋있는데 멀미나는데 재밌음

아무런 적도 없는데 괜히 소름돋고,
아무런 스토리도 없는데 왠지 모르게 감동스러운 게임.

비슷한 분위기의 안티챔버와 자주 비교되는데,
퍼즐은 안티챔버보다 훨씬 직관적이고 친절하다.

처음에 뭘 해야 할 지 감도 안 잡히는 안티챔버에 비하면
매니폴드 가든은 길찾기가 조금 헷갈리긴 해도 다음 목표가 명확하게 보이는 편.
퍼즐 디자인은 포탈에 더 가까운 느낌이다.

시각적 효과 또한 이 게임만의 독창적인 특징이다.
얼핏 단순해 보이면서도, 특유의 우아한 색감을 뽑는 데 공을 많이 들인 것 같다.
공간이 펼쳐지고 접히는 듯 기하학적이고 초현실적인 연출 또한 압권.

근데 그만큼 멀미도 심하다... 하프라이프에서도 안 하던 멀미를 이 게임에서 함.
